Place Saint-François is named after the Franciscan monastery (13th century), abandoned and demolished during the Revolution. Only a small part of the cloister is left from the Minor Saint-François convent. The clock tower, recently restored, dominates the lively square that host the famous fish market around a small fountain with dolphins from Tuesday to Sunday. The Municipal Palace (former Town Hall), still present and in Turin baroque style, dates from the 16th century: restored several times and classified as a Historical Monument since 1949, it is one of the few public buildings of the old town in baroque style and has housed the Labour Exchange since 1893.

En 1945, en guise de remerciement aux actes de résistance de la CGT dans les Alpes-Maritimes, le syndicat se voit octroyer, en plus, le bâtiment voisin, l'Aigle d'or, un ancien relais de diligences qui abrita la Kommandantur durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale..
Il y a également un marché aux poissons, quartier touristique.
