Did you know that the Festival City’s emblematic promenade holds the world record for luxury boutiques, beating Avenue Montaigne in Paris and Fifth Avenue, New York!
Built in the mid-19th century, this former coastal path offered winter visitors a pleasant stroll by the sea. Over time, palm-trees, beaches, private mansions, and palatial hotels appeared. 1946 was a real turning-point, welcoming the world’s elite for the first International Film Festival.
Edged by the beach and facades of luxury hotels and boutiques, the Croisette is "the" place to be in Cannes. Great for strolls at all times of day, bathing, dining, and memorable shopping sprees! Almost 1km long, it unfurls its boutiques hosting top international brands. Essential French names, Chanel, Dior, Hermès, and Saint Laurent, Italian brands Armani, Prada, Gucci, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, famous jewellers and watchmakers, Bulgari, Chopard, Van Cleef & Arpels, Fred, Boucheron.
Running parallel, Rue d’Antibes also proposes local gems such as jeweller Louis Julian and Taizo perfumes. The Croisette definitely wins the “Palme d’Or” as the ultimate shopping destination!
