Throughout Nice, along the Promenade des Anglais and all the gardens are chairs. They're all royal blue - the colour of the sky on a glorious summer day - and best of all they're free to sit on!

Ideal for relaxing and people-watching; perfect for soaking up the atmosphere. And in one of the little galleries they even sell tiny souvenir versions for the mantelpiece!

Renamed Maison Collignon after its role in the fabulous film Amelie - the sign above the awning has remained since filming - the grocery shop Marche de la Butte and it's owner, Ali, have found themselves local celebrities. He's really run with the fame the film brought him, and the shop is decorated with film memorabilia. Fending off hordes of dreaming Amelie-philes could have been too much for a small shop, and the Cafe des Moulins round the corner has certainly gone downhill since filming, but that's not the case at the Marche de la Butte. It's fun to visit - and also a great grocers!
