I am counting the days until our vacation in Nice this June. We will be staying in an apartment in Nice and taking day trips to many of the nearby towns.

What are some of your favorite Chanel boutiques? We will definitely visit the one in Nice since that is where we are staying, and our other top pick will be the seasonal pop up boutique in St. Tropez.

Then depending on everyone else’s schedule we will try to go to the boutiques in Monaco and Cannes.
And of course, we want to visit other boutiques such as Lanvin, DIOR, LV, Bulgari and Hermes.

Any and all advice on the best places to shop will be much appreciated. My group will include 4 ladies that love to shop and 3 men who do not love to shop… so I am hoping to have a game plan for the best picks before we go. :D

I bought my very first Chanel bag at the boutique in Monaco across from the Casino- it was the most amazing experience- they were so nice, so patient, and the stock was INSANE compared to anywhere else. They had every single classic in every color, every hardware… but this was in 2018.
I was going to recommend St Tropez, but I didn’t know it was a pop-up? Back then it was in a villa with a garden and double staircase to the entrance-GORGEOUS.

That sounds amazing, thank you!
And I think pop up was the wrong description for the St. Tropez boutique; I think it is only open between the months of April - October. The pictures I have seen online look so beautiful, I am very excited to see it in person! :D

So jealous - enjoy! I was there this time last year and went to the Nice Chanel and Monaco Chanel locations.

Nice: Tiny tiny tiny boutique! Staff were lovely and attentive, but the inventory was minute!
Monaco: Substantial boutique (multiple floors). Staff were fine (nothing to write home about) and I was able to pick up what I was looking for - Chanel 19 WOC in black. Inventory was decent!

Don’t make the mistake I did where I went to Cannes on a Sunday! Closed Chanel boutique, although LV was open (this location is AMAZING) and picked up some goodies.

Cannes and Monaco are hands down the best options. Same for Hermes and all the other luxury brands.
Chanel boutique in Nice is very small and stock is super limited, and Saint tropez mostly has seasonal pieces.
