Nordic Temptations
A little slice of Scandinavia in the old town
A small shopfront given over entirely to Nordic delicacies, its window flying the flags of Norway, Denmark and Sweden beneath a sign promising treats from Finland and Scandinavia.
Why VERA picked it
We're always drawn to the unexpected corners tucked between Antibes' shutters and stone archways - and few corners are as far from the Mediterranean as this one.
What it is
Nordic Temptations describes itself as a source of delicacies and gourmandises from Finland and Scandinavia, set into a narrow arched doorway in the old town.
The façade
Behind pale grey stonework, the shop's name is spelled out in bold blue letters, with a circular sign beneath a stylised sun motif spelling out its Finnish and Scandinavian speciality.
Little flags, big signal
Outside the entrance, small national flags - Norwegian, Danish, Swedish - flank the door, a quiet marker of the countries whose flavours fill the shelves within.
Why it stands out
Amid the patisseries and boulangeries of Antibes' old streets, a shop devoted to Nordic sweets is an unusual sight - a small reminder that this coastline draws visitors, and traders, from far beyond France.
Visiting
The shop keeps daytime hours from Monday to Saturday, pausing over the middle of the afternoon before reopening into the evening.
