Regional France

Nice's Mediterranean climate sees locals eating a diet with ingredients similar to Italy although Nice retains its own cuisine. It is of course home to the Nicoise salad but also items such as "socca" or chickpea crepes where people queue for 20 minutes to get a serve of this unique, crispy pancake. Then there is Tourte de Blette, a Swiss chard tart or slice that can be sold sweet or savoury. We try the sweet version along with other Nicoise specialties while cruising the Mediterranean.
