Cannes & Cap d'Antibes entre Glamour & Douceur de Vivre
This tour brings together two complementary faces of the Côte d'Azur: the Cannes glamour — the Croisette, the palaces, the Forville market at the heart of the city — and the secret serenity of Cap d'Antibes, with its beach restaurants facing the Mediterranean, far from any bustle.
The morning begins in Cannes, 30 minutes from Saint-Paul. Your chauffeur drops you at the heart of the city for a stroll along the Croisette, the Rue Meynadier and the mythical Forville Market, a Cannes institution since 1884 — colours, scents and local producers.
The afternoon heads to Cap d'Antibes — the most elegant peninsula on the Riviera — for lunch by the sea, at one of the most celebrated beach restaurants on the entire Côte d'Azur.

"The belly and the heart of Cannes — where the great starred chefs do their shopping every morning"
At the foot of the old town of Suquet beats the heart of Cannes: the Forville Market. It delights locals, passing visitors and even inspires the great chefs of Michelin-starred restaurants. This 3,000 m² market hall, built in 1932 and certified as regional heritage in 2000, overflows with Provençal colours and scents every morning.
You'll find flowers, seasonal fruits and vegetables, fish caught that very morning, artisan cheeses, charcuterie, caterers, olive oil and tapenade. On Mondays, antique dealers and second-hand sellers take over for a lively flea market. The nearby Rue Meynadier extends the experience with its traditional food shops.
Note 2024–2026: Cannes City Hall is undertaking a full renovation — local producers and fishermen are located under a large temporary hall on the Allées de la Liberté, facing the bandstand, while retailers remain on the east side of the Forville square. Both sites are worth visiting.
