Nice, France Food Crawl | Socca, Tourte de Blettes & Local Markets

Brent explores Nice, France through its food, starting with the city’s famous socca (and socca beer!) before moving on to trouchia, a Swiss chard and egg tart, a warming Lebanese soup, and the savory or sweet tourte de blettes. This food crawl also features a visit to the lively Marché aux Fleurs Cours Saleya and the historic Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas de Nice, making it a perfect mix of food, travel, and local culture.
