Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: It was market day when we arrived in Nice for a short visit.
The Cours Saleya is situated parallel to the Quai des États-Unis. In the past, it belonged to the upper classes. It is probably the most traditional square of the town, with its daily flower market. The Cours Saleya also opens on the Palais des Rois Sardes (Palace of the Kings of Sardinia) in the background. The palace, now classified as an historic monument, has a long and varied history, stretching back to 1613, the year that construction works were completed and the building was inaugurated by Charles Emmanuel I. The list of names associated with the palace reads like a who's who of European nobility and royalty. Almost all of the Dukes of Savoy and Kings of Sardinia resided here during their stays in Nice, occupying the "noble floor". Charles Emmanuel II was a guest in 1666, as was his son, Victor Amadeus II, future King of Sicily, in 1689. The Empress of Russia and several princes dined there whilst wintering in Nice. With such an influx, Nice became known as the monarchical and aristocratic capital of Europe. |
