Excitement is building in the French Riviera as the final preparations for the Cannes and Monaco Boat Shows fall into place. Combined, over 78,000 people are expected to attend and peruse some of the world’s finest boats and yachts.

New York Habitat offers many apartments in/near Cannes and Monaco. We encourage you to travel to the South of France and witness firsthand two of the most prestigious boat shows in the world.
