It can be said that the antibe is quite consistent with the representation of a convinced shopaholic about a good place for shopping. True, there are no powerful multi-storey hypermarkets, but the whole bunch of small departments. Home shopping street Rue de la République , Street Republik, and its continuation, Rue Georges Clemenceau. , Streets of Georges Clemanso.
It's just a storehouse of all kinds of goods. Here you can find a large number of stores of elite men's clothing "Un Jour Ailleurs", "Nikita Angel" and "Carla B", shoe salons, such as "Eram" and "Texto France", women's clothing departments, children's clothing, a variety of perfumes, Wine and cosmetic salons - listed there is no point.
Among others, there is one cheap and cool store here - "GIFT AVENUE" At 6 Rue de la République.
This is a souvenir shop where you can buy unusual cute postcards with views of the city of 0.90 euros per piece. Pay your attention also on the rolls for a roulette, a purse with symbols, playing card sets with different shirts. These are the best gifts from France to your friends! Best patience and couple watching the choice is very great! This store is simple - from the bus station to turn around the corner right, the shop will be immediately around the corner on the right side of the street.
Many shops on the street Boulevard Président Wilson. (President of Wilson), continuation of the street of the republic, as well as on small streets, diverging from this street.
You can also go to the north, to the streets Boulevard d'Aguillon. and Avenue De Verdun . True, there are much less shops, and they are all more technical part - the sale of boats and yachts, for example.
But there is a couple of good clothing stores, for example "Smallwood's Europe", and several sports goods stores.
As for the markets, you just need to look there. Target markets Deploy in different days and in different places. In such markets, you can buy a whole bunch of necessary and unnecessary clothing, shoes, vintage things, souvenirs, belts, bags, decorations, postcards.
Such markets open pretty early - in 7 in the morning and coordinate to the hour of the day. So, get up early and run to the markets here:
On Tuesdays and Saturdays, Place Amiral Barnaud (Old Town area, the very center of the city)
On Wednesdays PLACE JEAN AUDE (La Fonton area, 7 minutes drive from the main station of the city or half an hour on foot)
On Thursday Parking of the Main Post Office (OLD TOWN District, 5 Avenue Robert Soleau)
On Fridays- Pont DuleS (though, in the neighboring town Juan Le Pen)
If you arrived at this market, and do not see anything worthwhile, we advise you to take a good walk around the surroundings - perhaps a couple of standing shops disappeared into narrow neighboring streets (for example, the whole boron cheese occurs by mail, and not before it). Prices in the markets can be both in stores, and can be strikingly low, that is, it is possible to grab a good blouse for 3 and 5 euros. Moreover, the quality is very good (not China), such sold usually in expensive boutiques. If you are already covered by the Euphoria Shopping, try to follow the time, shops with clothes are folded in a couple of minutes, do not have time and blink.
Interesting flea markets Antibes . Just like in the clothing markets, here you can buy all sorts of things, Sond-Hand clothes, as well as homemade decorations and vintage beautiful postcards.
Flea markets open from 7 am to 6 pm here:
On Thursdays and Saturdays: Place Audiberti (or Place Jacques Audiberti, in the eastern part of the Old Town district, next to the Amiral de Gras Promenade)
Saturdays: Place Nationale (Old Town area, next to the Musée PeyNet Et Du Dessin Humoristique Museum)
On Thursdays in the same way: D'Aguillon Boulevard, Old Town area, next to St. Marie)
Don't forget about the famous Salon Antiquité Brocante. - Fair that takes place during the second half of April in Parking Pré Aux PêCheurs, opposite the port of Voban. This is the largest antiques fair in all of France, and here are the most serious traders and collectors from all over Europe.
Concerning Grocery markets - You are in Cours Massena (area Massena 2-6), which is two steps from the Picasso Museum. That is, standing on the embankment face to the cathedral, you need to get around this building on the right and go a little forward and down - voila! The market will be directly on the square. It is necessary to go there to plunge into this amazing spectacle - a huge amount of fruits and vegetables, cheese, olives, fish, fresh flowers, ham and sausages of all kinds and varieties.
Products sell people who grow all this good in their gardens, or catch themselves in the sea (this is me about the fish, of course) So, you can not worry about the quality of the goods. But prices are not the lowest, slightly higher than in supermarkets (but fresh and present!).Although the prices for fruit, for example, very low-less than two euros per kilogram, well, meat and cheeses are more expensive: the head of the cheese will cost you at least 23 euros, and the kilogram of sausages is less than 35 euros. In general, this market is some kind of cream color and smells, and a wonderful place to buy fresh products for a large picnic. In general, this market, rather, can be viewed as another important landmark of the city - after all, it is here that it boils and boils the real life! The market is open daily from June 1 to September 1, from 6 am to half a day (and in other months every day, except Monday).
After you bought a fruit basket, it's time to pay attention to Market crafts which is laid out immediately, in Cours Massena, in the indoor part. Here you can buy the work of local artists, sculptors and wood cutters. Just a holiday of some kind! The market is organized from mid-June to September, daily, except Monday, from 3 days before midnight, and from October to mid-June - on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 15:00.
Another good shop - "Schlecker".
In general, this is a shop all either, but very cheap! This is not particularly noteworthy in mind the store you can buy shampoos, balms, cosmetics, towels, dishes, products, all sorts of household accessories at ridiculous prices - from 1 euro, let's say. This store can be found at the addresses 12 Rue Lacan, 16 Boulevard Gustave Chancel and 72 Boulevard du Préside Wilson - all this is within a kilometer from the city center.
