Gray-d'Albion

Description:

• Most of the big names in designer fashion, for both men and women, line La Croisette. These stores are all in a row, stretching from the Hôtel Carlton almost to the Palais des Festivals, with the best names closest to the high-rise Gray-d'Albion, 17 La Croisette (04-92-99-79-79), which is both a mall and a hotel (how convenient). The stores in the Gray-d'Albion mall include Hermès and Souleiado. The mall is broken down into two parts, so you go outdoors from the first part of the building and then enter again for the second part. It serves also as the shopper's secret cutaway from the expensive shopping street, La Croisette, to the less expensive shopping street, rue d'Antibes.
