Hotels near Rue d'Antibes

One block back from the seafront, Rue d'Antibes is the main shopping street of Cannes, running parallel to La Croisette for the better part of a kilometre. It mixes high-street chains, French fashion labels, perfumeries, and patisseries, with slightly gentler prices than the designer boutiques on the seafront.

Along the way, La Malmaison, a small art gallery in a former hotel annexe on La Croisette nearby, mounts changing exhibitions of modern masters. The side streets between Rue d'Antibes and the sea hide independent shops, cafes, and some of the town's best-value lunch spots.

Pro Tip: Duck into the narrow streets between Rue d'Antibes and the sea for cheaper cafes than the seafront terraces. Many shops close for a long lunch, so browse late morning or late afternoon.
