Discover Antibes: places and activities not to be missed
Stroll through Old Antibes, the historic heart of the town
Surrounded by ramparts overlooking the Mediterranean, Old Antibes is the perfect starting point for exploring the town. Its cobbled streets, lined with colourful façades, pastel-coloured shutters and bougainvillea, invite you to take a stroll, whilst its small shaded squares, fountains and artisan shops lend it a quintessentially Provençal charm.
As you stroll around, don’t miss the Provençal market, held in the market hall on Cours Masséna. Open every morning during the high season, it brings together local producers and traders offering seasonal fruit and vegetables, olive oils, spices, cheeses, charcuterie and other Mediterranean specialities in a friendly atmosphere.
Continue your visit to the Picasso Museum, housed in the Château Grimaldi, where the artist stayed in 1946. As well as its remarkable collection of works, the museum offers a breathtaking, un d view of the sea. Walking along the ramparts, head next to Port Vauban, one of Europe’s largest marinas, where sailing boats, luxury yachts and fishing boats all lie side by side. Finally, take the time to admire Notre-Dame-de-la-Platea Cathedral before continuing your walk to Fort Carré, which overlooks the harbour entrance and offers a magnificent panoramic view of Antibes and the coastline.
Explore Cap d’Antibes, with its wild coves and exceptional panoramic views
A true natural gem between Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, Cap d’Antibes charms visitors with its unspoilt landscapes, turquoise waters and sumptuous villas nestled amongst the pine forest. To discover all its beauty, take the famous Tirepoil trail, also known as the coastal path. Approximately 5 km long there and back, this route runs along the cliffs and offers magnificent views of the Mediterranean. The walk is accessible to most walkers, but features numerous flights of steps, a few rocky sections and terrain that is sometimes uneven. It is therefore suitable for children who are used to walking, but not particularly suitable for pushchairs. Along the way, you’ll catch a glimpse of the famous ‘Bay of the Billionaires’, a cove with crystal-clear waters whose name refers to the luxurious properties lining Cap d’Antibes.
Further south, don’t miss the Abri de l’Olivette, a small traditional harbour where the iconic Provençal ‘pointus’ are moored. With its authentic atmosphere and peaceful setting, this picturesque spot is one of Antibes’ most beautiful landscapes and makes for an ideal stop to round off your exploration of the Cap.
Continue on to the Garoupe plateau, where the lighthouse and the Notre-Dame-de-la-Garoupe chapel stand. After a short climb, the site rewards visitors with an exceptional panoramic view of the Baie des Anges, the Alps, Antibes and, on a clear day, as far as the Estérel massif. This historic spot is one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the Côte d’Azur.
Enjoying Antibes’ finest beaches with the family
With its coastline alternating between long sandy beaches and more secluded coves, Antibes is an ideal destination for those who love swimming and relaxing. At the foot of the ramparts of Old Antibes, La Gravette beach appeals to families thanks to its fine sand, shallow waters and sheltered setting. Running along Cap d’Antibes, La Salis beach offers a magnificent view of the ramparts and the mountains in the background, whilst Ponteil beach is particularly popular with young children for its gentle slope and calm waters. Further south, La Garoupe beach, nestled in a secluded bay at Cap d’Antibes, is renowned for its pale sand and turquoise waters, ideal for both swimming and snorkelling. All along the coastline, small coves also invite visitors to enjoy a more intimate setting. With around twenty beaches and coves spread between Vieil Antibes, Cap d’Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, there is something to suit everyone’s tastes, whether you’re looking to relax in the sun, go for a swim with the family or admire the iconic landscapes of the Alpes-Maritimes and the Côte d’Azur.image
Experience the Mediterranean atmosphere with festivals and local specialities
Beyond its heritage and beaches, Antibes charms visitors with its Mediterranean way of life, which is particularly vibrant during the summer season. Every summer, the town hosts numerous concerts, shows and open-air events, whilst Jazz à Juan, held in Juan-les-Pins since 1960, ranks among Europe’s most prestigious jazz festivals. This unmissable event brings together internationally renowned artists every year in the exceptional setting of the Gould pine forest. Throughout the summer, markets, local festivals and cultural events also contribute to the friendly atmosphere that reigns on the Côte d’Azur. A stay in Antibes is also an opportunity to discover the flavours of Provence. At the markets, in restaurants and at local producers’ stalls, treat yourself to tapenade, ratatouille, pissaladière or even socca, a thin flatbread made from chickpea flour that is emblematic of the Alpes-Maritimes. Olives and olive oil from Provence, ‘ ’ honey from Provence (PGI), and Bellet wines, produced in the hills above Nice, round off this rich array of specialities that will delight lovers of local cuisine.image
