ANTIBES / CAP D’ANTIBES

The town of Antibes, situated between Cannes and Nice, is a beautiful old town founded by the Greeks in 300 B.C. The climate is pleasant all year around. The market is open every day. Picasso lived and worked here for many years. In fact, you can visit the Picasso museum exhibiting several of his works. The old Antibes is surrounded by an ancient protective wall where you can enjoy nice walks with marvellous view over the Mediterranean. The narrow streets, alleys and squares of the old town feature many shops and restaurants. The modern harbour of Antibes, Port Vauban, is one of Europe’s largest private boat harbours. Antibes’ closest neighbour, Juan-les-Pins is the seaside resort that was until the early 1900s a quiet fishing village and has today evolved into a “jetset” destination with casinos, luxury hotels and popular residences. Each year, the city hosts a world renowned jazz festival where many international artists perform. Juan-les-Pins is also home to numerous nightclubs and a bustling nightlife as well as beautiful sandy beaches.Cap d’Antibes is a lush peninsula with several beautiful beaches. You can walk around it in a few hours thanks to a stunning coastal trail from which you can get a glimpse of the fabulous mansions. At the very end of the peninsula is one of the most luxurious hotels in the world, the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.
