French Riviera Luxury Shopping
A guide to luxury shopping on the French Riviera — the designer boutiques of Monaco, Cannes and Nice, reached by private chauffeur.
The French Riviera shops as grandly as it lives. From the golden square of Monte-Carlo to the Croisette in Cannes, the coast lines up the great fashion houses in some of Europe's most glamorous settings. Here is a guide to luxury shopping on the French Riviera.
Monaco — the Carré d'Or
Monaco's Carré d'Or, the golden square around the Casino, is one of the densest concentrations of luxury boutiques anywhere — the great fashion and jewellery houses, side by side, in a compact and glamorous quarter.
It is shopping as spectacle, in the heart of the principality.
