Armani Caffè, inside the namesake retailer, has the best iced coffee in Cannes. Discotis 2 Rond-Point Duboys D’Angers Infrequently open and frequently messy, this record store is a gem. The owner is deeply knowledgable mais il ne parle pas anglais. Bring some vinyl home as a souvenir! En Sortant de l’École (Leaving School) 18 Rue Notre Dame Feel guilty for missing Father’s Day? This toy store is packed with exquisite, expensive trinkets (that your kids might not love as much as you do). Fred l’Ecailler 7 Place de l’Etang The best place to play pétanque like (and possibly even with) a local. Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc 167-165 Boulevard J. F. Kennedy, Antibes This resort dates to 1887 and has hosted everyone from Winston Churchill to Liz Taylor. Bring mosquito repellent. And a swimsuit for the incredible infinity pool. Also cash. Lots and lots of cash. La Brouette de Grand Mère 9 Bis Rue d’Oran The name of this rustic Russian family-style restaurant translates to “grandma’s wheelbarrow.” When you’re sick of rosé you’ll appreciate the vodka and smoked fish. La Chunga 24 Rue Latour-Mauborg Need a break from the Gutter Bar? La Chunga is right next door! You can often score a seat and spontaneous dance parties have been known to break out. Plus it’s a front row seat to the Gutter’s runoff. La Colombe d’Or Place du Général de Gaulle Saint-Paul-de-Vence Tucked in the hills above Cannes, this hotel and bistro was a favorite haunt of the twentieth century’s greatest artists. Picasso, Matisse, Chagall all frequented—and their work hangs on the walls. La Guérite Île Sainte-Marguerite It’s a 10-minute boat ride to this lively restaurant on an island cove. Worth getting seasick for. La Môme 6 Rue Florian Among our favorite Italian restaurants in the city, situated in an old-world cobblestoned alley. Go al fresco. Le Grand Hotel 45 Boulevard de la Croissette The place to be on Wednesday night for Ad Age’s annual lawn party. Les Murs Peints Giant movie-themed murals adorn walls all over the city’s surrounding area. Look out for a nine-story-tall Marilyn Monroe, Harold Lloyd dangling from a clock and famous movie voitures. Maema Face du 26 Boulevard du Midi Jean Hibert Take a breather, catch an exceptional sunset and drink a glass of rosé at this beach. Marché Forville 6 Rue due Marché Forville Stop by this sprawling indoor farmer’s market for some actual fresh produce and maybe some flowers for your, er, client. Monoprix 9 Rue du Maréchal Foch As soon as you arrive, load up on water (and wine) and snacks (and snacks) to keep at home because you will never be hydrated enough. Old Town/Le Suquet 1 Petite Rue Sant-Antoine Founded as a Roman camp, this is the original site of the city. Wearing heels? You may want to bring flip-flops. Steak ‘n Shake 3 Place du Général de Gaulle Quite possibly an epic troll, this comparatively opulent outcropping of the American roadside chain is always crowded. Ostentatious owner Sardar Biglari is proud enough to put his signature on the wall.
