Supermarkets
– Cocci Market on the main road to the beach is reasonable
and sells English newspapers and a few dated magazines. It shuts
altogether at 12 noon on a Sunday and during the week it shuts for
lunch between 12.30pm and 3.30pm. There is a bigger hypermarket on
the main shopping street (Jean Medecin) which is bigger and sells
flowers and a large range of cosmetics, however, we found it more
pricey buut good if you want to do a big main shop.
Nice main street – turn righ at end of lane (at Internet cafe) and right again then follow the road until you hit the main shopping street (next to a church). Great shops like Zara, H&M, Etam and berska (sorry, we only know girly shops). Most things are similarly priced as at home, oftena pound or so cheaper, but not much more.
Cannes – a few boutiques, a Mango & Mac makeup shop, but overall not as good as Nice.
For more designer stuff there are shops such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci and Dior dotted all over both Cannes and Nice – oddly next to souvenir shops.
