Marché de la Libération - Nice

This guide to the Marché de la Libération in Nice starts before dawn, as crates of fish and produce hit the cobbles of Place du Général de Gaulle. It traces the old railway station across the square, its glass-and-iron shed credited to Gustave Eiffel, and the line that opened in 1892 to carry farmers and shepherds down from the mountains to sell here. Listen for the Train des Pignes, the little line that once did the carrying, mentioned as you walk between the stalls.
