Once an elegant main thoroughfare, Cours Saleya is now the location of a very popular flower market. It is lined by Miséricorde chapel and, to the east, the Palais Caïs de Pierla, where Matisse lived from 1921 to 1938. To the left of the chapel stands the former Palais du Gouverneur et des Princes de Savoie, now the Prefecture (pl P.-Gautier). To the east is Saint-François-de-Paule church (18C).
