Cannes Shopping: Where to Shop - Cannes, France, FR
Within central Cannes, the elegant Rue d'Antibes is well known for its trendy international fashion boutiques, perfumeries and florist shops. Nearby Rue Meynadier has the benefit of being pedestrianized and, as such, makes a pleasant place for a spot of window shopping. Less expensive than the shops on the Rue d'Antibes, this is the place to look for delicatessens, shops selling regional specialties, and fashion clothing that costs considerably less than its haute couture counterpart.

Just to the west of Cannes, close to the motorway and the Cannes Mandelieu Airport, the Cannes-La Bocca district has a large number of superstores and shopping complexes, selling sports gear, furniture and the like.

Cannes boasts a large covered market, Marché Forville, which opens every morning and is a great place to experience traditional day-to-day shopping. Stalls sell vegetables, fruit, freshly caught fish, oysters, paté and olives. A flower market lies at the western end of the covered area. On a Monday, Forville is transformed into a popular flea market, selling all manner of bric-a-brac.
