Shop the Streets of Cannes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our favorite city for shopping is Cannes, because of the outdoor setting, the sheer number of stores, and the mix of both cool indie fashion labels, mid-range aspirational brands, and high-end fashion houses. A true slice of Parisian elegance and opulence on the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur, Cannes keeps in well-heeled step with the most sought after high-end retail shopping districts in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The compact center of town makes it perfect for a short stopover, as you can take in all the most prestigious shopping precincts within an entirely walkable area. So serious are they about their luxury retail culture that Cannes dedicates an entire festival to it every year, in spring \u2013 with four fashion filled days of haute couture shows, entertainment and a slew of other related events. The ‘Cannes Shopping Festival’ is held every spring in March or April and the ‘Sales and the City’ shopping festival is held each January. Our calendrier des \u00e9v\u00e9nements<\/a> has all the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luxury Shopping in Monaco’s Shopping Centers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MONACO’S METROPOLE SHOPPING CENTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re bound for Monaco<\/a> in search of bargains, I\u2019m going to have to disappoint you. True, there are a few ‘affordable’ shops in the Condamine\/Port district. But key Monaco shops (mostly in Monte-Carlo’s Cercle d\u2019Or district<\/a> around Place du Casino) clothe, bejewel and otherwise complement the costliest bodies on the planet. Still, if you look hard enough you can find occasional deals. Check out our guide to shopping centers in Monaco<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

French Flea Markets (Vide-Grenier)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You can get great deals on real treasures at french flea markets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Europe doesn\u2019t do Garage Sales, preferring neighborhood flea markets, known as Vide-Greniers, which literally means \u201cempty your attic\u201d. Each village usually does one or two a year, spring and fall, and each family fills a table with all manner of fascinating finds, from the most hilarious junk to the most interesting antiques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prices at these bric-a-brac free-for-all’s are a fraction<\/em> of the prices at weekly antique markets, and bargaining is the way to go\u2026 if you don\u2019t speak French, start with \u2018bonjour<\/em>\u2018et un sourire, puis pointe et utilise la calculatrice de ton smartphone pour faire ton offre !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food, Flower, Artisan & Antique Markets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Definitely visit The Markets in Nice, especially the evening artisan market<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Les march\u00e9s dans les vieilles villes de la C\u00f4te d'Azur, c'est un peu le c\u0153ur battant de chaque endroit. C'est l\u00e0 o\u00f9 les gens du coin font leurs courses pour la journ\u00e9e et disent bonjour \u00e0 leurs voisins, pendant que les touristes, curieux, jettent un \u0153il sur la vie de tous les jours des locaux et essaient de s'impr\u00e9gner de l'ambiance de la Riviera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those of you with a sweet of tooth will find the C\u00f4te d’Azur to be your kind of heaven. Nearly every town has its own specialty: candied fruits in Agr\u00e9able<\/a>, nougats in Vence, marrons glac\u00e9s<\/em> in Collobri\u00e8res, orange-flavored chocolates called grimaldines <\/em>en Cagnes<\/a>, and creamy tartes trop\u00e9ziennes in Saint-Trop<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, it’s important to know which markets are good, and which are mostly selling junk made in China. Check out our guide to the best French Riviera markets<\/a> so you’ll know which markets to shop at for the specific items you want — and which to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
