It's not called retail therapy for nothing; unwind with a day of quality shopping in Cannes. There's no shortage of haute couture in Cannes' high-end boutiques, many of which are situated around Rue d'Antibes and La Croisette. Don't miss the Philippe Starck-designed Jean-Paul Gaultier boutique, on Boulevard de la Croisette, which was the first of its kind outside Paris. A stroll down Rue d'Antibes will awaken your senses with its lush perfumeries, florists and chocolate shops.

With the shimmering Mediterranean sea on one side and the jagged red rock of the Estérel mountains on the other, La Croisette is a seaside promenade worth a wander. Should you tire of gazing out at the yachts in the distance, this mile-long stroll offers plenty of people-watching opportunities. Grab an ice cream and watch glamorous pedestrians as they cruise by.

You can also soak up Cannes's famous sunshine on one of its endless beaches, which are dotted with palm trees if you prefer the shade. And for true peace and quiet, leave the city behind. Hop aboard a boat for a slow cruise along the Corniche d'Or, or book an excursion to a local island through Compagnie Maritime Lérins St Honorat, who specializes in leisurely wine country cruises.

A spa getaway is the perfect excuse to combine travel, leisure and pleasure at the luxurious Radisson Blu 1835 Hotel & Thalasso, Cannes! Take advantage of Cannes' seaside location and treat yourself to a holistic spa day (or days :)) harnessing the healing powers of the Mediterranean. As French Riviera rhymes with relaxation and spa, the region organizes a "Happy Spa Week" twice a year featuring several spas and hotels in the region. So, keep an eye out for the next edition!
