Rue d'Antibes (Antibes Street), Cannes (must see)

Antibes Street is a delightful shopping destination. While you stroll, take time to admire the beautiful architecture along the street—many of the buildings here date to the 19th century.

Antibes Street used to link Toulon to Antibes. Today, it's a popular place to promenade and shop. It is 1.2 kilometers (3/4 mile) long and runs parallel to Croisette Boulevard. In comparison to Croisette Boulevard, the shops on Antibes Street tend to be more affordable.

The popular Gray d'Albion shopping center is located along Antibes. Don't miss Ladurée, one of France's favorite bakeries. Here you will find towers of inviting and scrumptious macaroons.

There are also shops featuring jewelry, fashion wear, shoes, and cosmetics. Shoppers will find brands such as Swatch and Zara as well as independent boutiques.
