The Rue d’Antibes:
For anyone who has not experienced the Rue d’Antibes, the second most popular shopping street in France after the Champs Elysee, it is a feast for the senses.
The architecture is a beautifully preserved mix of “belle epoch”, “bourgeois” and “art deco” – some of the best preserved anywhere.
It is a narrow street, only one lane wide with traffic moving from east to west, with very wide pavements and pedestrians most definitely rule! The street is decorated with floral displays and huge and exotic hanging baskets as far as the eye can see.
People from around the world flock to it to shop in some of the most prestigious shops, in galleries, or just to sit and sip espresso or a glass of rosé on the pavement and watch the world passing bye.
It is a street without restaurants, bars and clubs, and with minimal traffic so it goes quiet in the evening. The night life is in the surrounding streets and those leading off the Rue d’Antibes, but not on the Rue d’Antibes itself.
