Bethenny Frankel’s Must-Visit Secret Spots in the South of France Revealed at Cannes Lions 2025!
Bethenny Frankel shares her top must-visit destinations in the South of France.
The versatile entrepreneur, now a TikTok star, is also a headline speaker at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity in Cannes, France.
Page Six recently caught up with Frankel, 54, who gave an insider look at her favorite spots before her visit.
Her first recommendation is the Carlton Cannes, a historic five-star hotel built in 1901, overlooking the bay on Boulevard Croisette with its own private beach.
“This is the heart of Cannes,” Frankel said, praising its luxury amenities like the beach club and spa. “It’s my go-to spot here,” she added.
The Carlton, just 25 minutes from Nice Airport, offers a well-equipped gym and business facilities as well.
Next on her list is Lucia, a seafood restaurant on the beach, known for its seasonal, sun-kissed menu. “Every dish captures the warmth and freshness of the region,” she explains, sharing its menu here.
Designed by the same team as Nikki Beach, Lucia’s open and colorful setting perfectly matches Frankel’s style. She’s excited to explore it further on her upcoming trip.
Her journey takes her to nearby St. Tropez, a hotspot for billionaires and celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Drake, just an hour and a half drive away.
Another favorite in St. Tropez is La Réserve à la Plage, known for its stunning views and vibrant atmosphere. “The food here is incredible,” she notes, especially the artichoke and truffle chicken she dreams about.
She also shared a TikTok glimpse of the spot, praising the lobster salad and their signature paella, which features a mix of seafood, rice, and vegetables.
Her favorite hotel in the Riviera is Hôtel Lily of the Valley in La Croix-Valmer. “The views are breathtaking, and the spa is divine,” Frankel said, calling it her “ wellness bubble.”
Its website promises healthy, luxurious cuisine, outdoor fitness, and relaxing treatments to prepare for the warmer days.
