Nestled at the end of Cours Saleya, which is a cobblestone square in Old Nice that is famous for its flower market, is the stunning yellow Palace Caïs Pierlas. Built in 1782, it was once owned by a local family that was prominent since the 13th century. The famous painter Henri Matisse, who was a friend and competitor of Pablo Picasso, lived on the third floor for several years.
