Property in La Croisette, Cannes
Boulevard de la Croisette is the most prestigious address in Cannes and one of the most iconic on the French Riviera. Stretching nearly two kilometres along the Mediterranean, lined with palaces, luxury boutiques and private beaches, this legendary seafront attracts an international clientele in search of exceptional homes and prestige investments.
La Croisette, the legendary Cannes seafront
La Croisette runs from the Palais des Festivals in the west to the Pointe Croisette and the Palm Beach district in the east. In between: the long sandy beach, the private beach pontoons, the historic palaces and the Belle Époque façades that built the reputation of Cannes. This is where the Cannes Film Festival, MIPIM and MIPCOM take place each year — events that anchor the boulevard’s international fame and underpin property values over the long term.
The property market on La Croisette
La Croisette concentrates the most sought-after properties in Cannes: high-end sea-view apartments, prestige pied-à-terre, penthouses and secure luxury residences. Prices are among the highest in the city — from around €10,000/m² for fine addresses, and €15,000/m² and above for exceptional front-line properties, against a Cannes average of about €6,500/m². The gap is driven mainly by the view, the floor, the terrace and the first or second line from the sea. For an overview, see our guide to price per m² by district in Cannes.
What kind of property can you find on La Croisette?
The offer ranges from prestige studios to large family apartments and penthouses with panoramic terraces. You will find both Belle Époque buildings, prized for their volumes and character, and modern high-end residences with hotel-style services — concierge, security, parking. Front-line properties, with a full view over the bay and the Lérins Islands, are the rarest and most coveted.
Lifestyle on La Croisette
Living on La Croisette means a unique setting: the seafront promenade, the sandy beaches, the terraces of the palaces — Carlton, Martinez, JW Marriott, Majestic — and the windows of the greatest luxury houses. The Old Port, the Forville market and the lanes of Le Suquet are a few minutes’ walk away, and Nice Côte d’Azur airport less than thirty minutes. A lively setting all year round, in one of the most photographed places in the world.
Investing on La Croisette
