It is probably the most beloved and most famous street in the south of France: The Croisette in Cannes. Or actually, it is not a street; that is far too common a name; it is a boulevard. And you should stroll on a boulevard in a classic jogging outfit or a Dior Allover Butterfly dress; it’s all possible.
The Croisette in Cannes is a beautiful representation of a world full of diversity. Students worldwide eat a Pan Bagnat on the boulevard and marvel at the ladies, made up to perfection, gracefully walking their Pommelepom dog. The dog’s ‘poopoo’ is professionally cleaned with gloves and thrown into the trash with an elegant bow. Cannes likes to be clean and tidy.
California complete with surf culture
On the other side of the Croisette, surf dudes and dudettes on Palm Beach show what they can do on the surfboard or kitesurf. With the sandy beach and the eternal wind that blows in this direction from the Lerins islands, it looks like California. It is not entirely coincidental that this residential area also starts here. Right between Palm Beach and the Palais des Festival, you will find beach restaurants filled with business people visiting one of the many fairs in Cannes for a few days.
Cannes has built an excellent reputation; it feels small and familiar and, at the same time, has a grandeur that is known in all corners of the world. This is due to the Cannes Film Festival and the thousands of people who come to see famous film stars. These celebrities make their rounds on the red carpet in tuxedos and evening dresses, smile for the hundreds of cameras and leave the crowd breathless.
Buy an apartment on the Croisette in Cannes
Anyone who buys an apartment on the Croisette will find themselves at the centre of the French Riviera lifestyle. You walk to one of the beach clubs or a restaurant with the best oysters or go shopping in one of the many top shops. You will never be bored in Cannes. People sometimes say: ‘Anyone who lives in Cannes only comes to Cannes.’ To go out, relax, go to the movies or get on a boat. And if you want to take a trip to other fashionable locations such as Saint Tropez or Monaco, you can quickly contact the heli service in the Port.
The real estate market in Cannes
You can imagine an apartment on the famous Croisette has a different price tag than in le Suquet. The rare new buildings in Cannes are selling out quickly, and the classic flats with high ceilings in the Bourgeois style are being sold without being found on the Internet. These apartments are sold off-market, and a network with all real estate agents is required to access that exclusivity in real estate.
Of course, Living on the Cote d’Azur as Boutique in Real Estate is the ideal partner to help you search (and find!) an apartment on the Croisette. Our Sophie lives around the corner from the Croisette and knows better than anyone which apartment on the Croisette offers the best view. Or an alert concierge. Or a spacious underground garage. And which apartment has it all?
