Wake early at a café on Cours Saleya watching vendors arrange flowers and produce, browse the market until 13:00, grab a socca (chickpea pancake) from a street vendor. Afternoon: wander aimlessly through Rue Droite and Rue Pairolière, duck into family-run galleries. Evening: aperitif at a hole-in-the-wall wine bar, dinner at a family trattoria, then join locals in caveau bars for late-night conversation.

Start with coffee at Café Massena overlooking the Promenade, then walk the seafront toward Castle Hill viewpoint for panoramic views. Lunch at a casual spot near Quai des États-Unis, explore the Musée Matisse inland, return for sunset aperitivo at a beachfront bar, then dinner in the quieter Old Town just behind the Promenade.

Start with espresso at Café Auer overlooking the olive trees, walk the Roman excavations at Cemenelum museum grounds (free entry), then lunch at a local trattoria like Lou Nissart. Afternoon: explore the peaceful Monastère de Cimiez courtyard and adjoining gardens. End with apéro at a quiet bar on Boulevard Carabacel, catching sunset toward the Baie des Anges.
