Nice / Online
Founded in Nice in 1950 by master tailor Jean Goldberg on rue Paradis, dressing Cannes Film Festival stars of the era. His son Albert took over in 1961 and, inspired by a visit to Brooks Brothers in New York, launched the ready-to-wear line renamed Façonnable.
Best for Riviera-blue shirts and blazers.
Façonnable traces back to a single tailoring shop opened on rue Paradis in Nice in 1950 by Jean Goldberg, a master tailor who built a reputation dressing film stars in bespoke tuxedos and gowns for the Cannes Film Festival and the wider Riviera social season, including clients such as Tony Curtis and Cary Grant. The business stayed a made-to-measure operation through the 1950s. In 1961 Goldberg retired and handed the workshop to his son, Albert Goldberg, who took the label in a new direction after a research trip to Brooks Brothers in New York. Rather than continuing purely bespoke work, Albert developed a ready-to-wear collection for men and renamed the business Façonnable, a play on the French verb 'façonner' — to shape or fashion. The rebrand captured the shift from single-client tailoring to a wearable, repeatable version of the same Riviera style: tailored but relaxed, built around the color and ease associated with the French Mediterranean coast. The Nice origin remains central to the brand's identity, with the label continuing to market itself around the phrase 'French Riviera since 1950.'

Since 2016, this herbalist's shop in the old town of Nice has custom-blended herbal teas and tisanes to order for concerns from digestion to sleep and stress, alongside loose herbs, powders, essential oils, medicinal mushrooms and shilajit, sold in-store and online across France.
Best for Custom-blended herbal teas and tisanes from an apothecary in Nice's old town
Herboristerie du Vieux Nice has operated in the old town of Nice since 2016 as a dedicated herbalist's shop, built around plants, tisanes and natural remedies rather than a general wellness or gift-shop format. The core of the business is custom blending: rather than selling only pre-packaged tisanes, staff work with customers to build herbal tea mixes matched to specific concerns, spanning digestion, immunity, sleep, stress management and women's health, with the shop stating plainly that it takes time to listen and match a plant or supplement to the person rather than the complaint alone. Beyond the custom tisane counter, the shop stocks loose herbs, herbal powders, capsule supplements, essential oils, medicinal mushrooms and shilajit, covering both the classic apothecary staples and more recent additions to French herbal retail. That range positions Herboristerie du Vieux Nice as a genuine herbalist's practice operating out of a historic tourist district rather than a souvenir stand that happens to sell tisanes, with an online shop extending the same custom-consultation approach to buyers across France who can't visit the old-town counter directly. For a business open less than a decade, it reads as a deliberate revival of the traditional French herboristerie model inside one of the country's most visited old towns.

Nice / Online
Nice coffee roaster since 1934, pioneer of fair-trade in France — Grands Crus and compostable pods.
Best for Nice coffee roaster since 1934
Malongo's own site describes the company as France's leading player in organic and fair-trade coffee — 'premier intervenant français des cafés biologiques et équitables' — built around four stated commitments: fair trade, organic agriculture, sustainable development, and traceability, all tied to French manufacturing. Distinctively, the company makes its own pods from natural fiber paper rather than plastic, and manufactures its EOH espresso machine domestically at a facility in the Vendée region, a rarer claim among pod-format coffee brands, most of which source hardware from third-party manufacturers abroad. Malongo describes its producer relationships as built on trust rather than transactional buying — 'plus que de simples échanges commerciaux, nous tissons d'authentiques liens de confiance,' more than simple commercial exchanges, we weave genuine bonds of trust — and operates its own coffee school, l'école du café, alongside boutiques in Nice, Saint-Laurent-du-Var, and Paris. The Nice base and 1934 founding date place Malongo among France's older coffee houses, but its current identity centers less on heritage than on manufacturing choices — French-made machines, plastic-free pods, and direct cooperative sourcing — that distinguish it from larger competitors who outsource both hardware and pod materials.
