Join me for a shopping tour in the Cote d'Azur!

The city of Nice is beautiful and special all year round. Busy and full of life during summer time, cozy and still warm during autumn. Its the perfect time of the year to visit this seaside city, eat outside, enjoy the sunshine and do some shopping. French elegance is well-known world wide. Take your time and check out the stylish shops in the center!

Galleries Lafayette: Shopping Heaven

Whenever I’m in France, I always check out this place, they offer luxury brands and wide range of products. This is the finest department store, I’ve ever been. I’m so much impressed by the one in Paris, that’s just pure luxury and an architectural wonder. The store in Nice is pretty nice and huge as well, you can easily get around with the escalators.

I finally chose a scarf here, I loved the material and there were so many colors available. There are big sales in January and June. The store is located right at the Place Massena, which is the main square, you will spot the shop with its elegant arcades.

Shopping streets

From Galleries Lafayette start walking straight on Avenue Jean Médecin, this is where you will find such popular brands like Zara and H&M. I was very much fascinated by the shoes, I was checking out brands, that do not exist in Hungary. This is how I’ve found Eram: high-quality, leather shoes, stylish, classy pieces with a twist. I couldn’t resist to buy a pair of black ankle-boots with buckles.  In the Zara store I chose a dark blue chiffon blouse with beautiful details.

If you keep walking on the Avenue, you will find another shopping mall, called Nice Etoile. As soon as I walked in, I’ve found this amazing Pandora store. I’m obsessed with this brand, it reflects elegance, simplicity and style in all of their collections.  I bought a basic pair of earrings with the Pandora logo, very simple piece, perfectly goes with everything, I’ve been wearing it a lot since then.

Rue Paradis is close to the main square, its a fabulous street where you will find such prestigious brands like Max Mara, Chanel, Sonia Rykiel and many others. Luxury on top!

Rue de la Liberté was a cozy, nice street where I was checking out brands like Cosi for interior design, Mellow Yellow, Gant, Ecco and many more nice stores. I loved the atmosphere!

The best thing about shopping in Nice is that you can easily reach everything on foot, especially if your accommodation is on the Promenade des Anglais.  Have a nice walk and feel the vibes! I enjoyed my time so much, I'm planning to be back for a summer holiday. Please share with me your shopping experiences in the city and I will be happy to check out some more stores next time.
