Things to do in Antibes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Follow in the footsteps of famous artists<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s something about Antibes\u2026 This seaside town has been an inspiration to artists right back to Monet\u2019s 1888 painting of the Cap d\u2019Antibes. So many renowned artists fell in love with this Mediterranean town<\/a> and today you can go to the same spots where the likes of Monet and Picasso set up their easels and captured their beautiful scenes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick up a map and Antibes guide at the Antibes Juan-les-Pins Tourist Office, then head to the trail, stopping at all the stands showing their works of art. You\u2019ll see the marketplace before it was covered with a cast-iron structure, painted by Emile-Charles Dameron, and see the view of “The Rocks of l’Ilette and the Fortifications” painted by Eug\u00e8ne Boudin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lovely picture of Salis beach done by Ernest Meissonier, and a Claude Monet picture of Antibes with the snow-capped Alps rising in the background. You\u2019ll even spot a familiar Picasso piece. With soaring mountains, deep blue sea, and rocky outcrops along the trail, this is the most stunning way to learn about Antibes\u2019 artistic past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pablo Picasso adored Antibes, and in 1946, he transformed the 14th-century Ch\u00e2teau Grimaldi into his personal art studio. Today, the ch\u00e2teau serves as the first art museum dedicated to Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s home to 245 paintings and sculptures, many reflecting the light and life of this little seaside town. Picasso himself donated a large number of artworks to the museum, and his wife Jacqueline Picasso donated the rest after Picasso\u2019s death. <\/p>\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also enjoy a collection of work by contemporary artists like Joan Miro, Fernand L\u00e9ger and Nicolas de Sta\u00ebl. Head out to Bastion Saint-Jaume and you\u2019ll see one of the museum\u2019s previous treasures – Le Nomade by Catalan artist Jaume Plensa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This giant figure is made up of different letters and sits looking out to see. On a sunny day, you\u2019ll see the striking contrast of the white letters against the blue sky, and at night it\u2019s illuminated from inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narrow cobbled streets, honey-hued fa\u00e7ades, brightly painted shutters, old stone ramparts… the historic Old Town of Antibes looks like it’s barely changed in centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the site of the first trading post established by the Greeks in the 5th century, and you\u2019ll still find historic treasures around every turn. See the wooden sculptured fa\u00e7ade of the Cath\u00e9drale Notre-Dame-de-la-Platea d’Antibes or stop by Chapelle St Bernardin, a gorgeous Gothic church from the 16th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stroll through the pavement caf\u00e9s and shops selling all kinds of local wares like artworks, glassware, white cotton clothes and herbs. You could even visit the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Arch\u00e9ologie, displaying 4,000 years of history discovered in and around Antibes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wander along the ramparts on the Promenade-Amiral-de Grasse for gorgeous sea views, and see the historic bed and breakfast La Bastide du Bosquet, where the famous French author Guy de Maupassant was said to have stayed while writing short stories and the novel \u2018Mont Orio\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore the markets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When in the Old Town, you can\u2019t miss the March\u00e9 Proven\u00e7al, where stalls overflow with everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to specialty cheeses, olives, charcuterie, spices, fish and flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s open every day in the morning except for Mondays in winter, while in the afternoon it becomes a crafts market, local artists showcase their paintings, sculptures and ceramics. Check with your Antibes guide for up-to-date opening days and hours, as they change during summer and winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re visiting Antibes in the summer months of July and August, there are night markets held on the L’esplanade du Pr\u00e9-des-P\u00eacheurs. There are plenty of other great markets in Antibes, including the Foire clothes market, which has a mix of clothing, bags, jewellery and household items, while the brocante (secondhand) market sells all kinds of vintage clothes, shoes, bags and assorted treasures.<\/p>\n

The beautiful Cap d\u2019Antibes is a peninsula running between Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, and is peppered with gorgeous sights. You can drive it, take the local bus, or follow the coastal footpath on a scenic walk or bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a wonderful lush area, lined with glamorous villas, pretty gardens and stunning sea views. One of the top highlights is the Jardin Botanique de la Villa Thuret, a magical botanical garden created by botanist Gustave Thuret in 1857. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also the 16th-century chapel of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garoupe, an old pilmigrate site. It\u2019s now dedicated to those lost at sea and is dotted with model ships and sea artefacts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearby, is the Phare de la Garoupe, one of the most powerful on the coast with a beacon that can be seen by boats for 40km out to sea. The lighthouse isn\u2019t open to the public, but you can follow the one-kilometre Chemin de Calvaire pathway up to the lighthouse for a panoramic view over the glittering C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur. You can see Juan-les-Pins and Cannes in one direction, and Villefranche-sur-Mer, Nice and Italy in the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more seafaring history, stop by the Naval and Napoleonic Museum, or if you\u2019re after more greenery, head to Villa Eilenroc. This 11-acre park and villa estate was originally bought by a wealthy Dutch gentleman, who named the estate by reversing his wife\u2019s name, Corn\u00e9lie. Wander through the dreamy gardens, filled with palm trees, lush lawns and colourful flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t come to Antibes and not spend at least a few hours enjoying the beaches here. There are stretches of soft golden sand and clear turquoise waters, rocky coves that are excellent for snorkelling, and private beaches where you\u2019ll find umbrellas and bottle service. Your Antibes guide will have plenty of recommendations for where to sunbathe and swim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plage du Ponteil is ideal for families, with plenty of amenities and small boats and kayaks for hire. For something more secluded, head to Plage Mala, supposedly used by Russian Tsar Nicholas II and his lover when they holidayed here.

 If you\u2019re looking for luxury, Plage de la Garoupe is home to luxury private beach clubs in the summer, and you can hire a lounger with drinks service – but don\u2019t boast about it on social media as this beach has a strict selfie ban! We also love Plage de la Gravette, overlooked by the Old Town ramparts, with a sheltered cove that\u2019s perfect for swimming or enjoying aperitifs at sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built upon Roman ruins in the 16th century, Fort Carr\u00e9 is packed with history. Napoleon was imprisoned here during the French Revolution, and it was also used to protect the border between France and the neighbouring county of Nice in the 19th century. After Nice became part of France, the fort was used as a sports college for soldiers who used to abseil down its walls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today it’s open to visitors, and you might recognise it as the villain\u2019s retreat in the James Bond film \u2018Never Say Never Again\u2019<\/em>. It also offers stunning views over the harbour, with Antibes on one side and Nice on the other. It\u2019s about a 30-minute walk along the harbour from Antibes Old Town, or you can take a local bus or taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to see how the other half live? Head to Antibes Port Vauban. It\u2019s a natural harbour that\u2019s been used since before Roman times as the ancient Greek trading port of Antipolis. Today it\u2019s the largest marina in the Mediterranean, packed with around 1,800 boats including some of the world\u2019s most expensive superyachts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d like to do a bit of fantasy yacht shopping, head to Billionaires\u2019 Quay, where you\u2019ll see uniformed crew polishing the superyachts of the ultra-rich sheikhs, oligarchs and royalty that holiday in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you head south of Antibes along the ramparts, you\u2019ll come across Safranier, a small free commune. It\u2019s filled with cobbled streets and fantastic bars and restaurants, including the beloved bistro, Le Safranier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commune was founded in 1966 and is described as a place \u201cto do good and have fun\u201d. It\u2019s also famed as the place where Nikos Kazantzakis wrote “Zorba the Greek”. Wander around and you might even stumble upon a lively festival, from colourful markets to spaghetti eating contests!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love the nostalgia of postcards, head to the Mus\u00e9e de la Carte Postale (Museum of the Postcard). You\u2019ll see thousands of original, international postcards from many different eras, and learn all about how our means of communication has changed over the decades, from postcards, to phones, to the internet. <\/p>\n

Getting around Antibes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Walking is the easiest way to get around the narrow cobblestone streets of Antibes. Most of them are pedestrianised and there are so many fantastic attractions in the historic Old Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also use local buses to get to other towns and villages, or you could hire a bicycle and zoom along the stunning peninsula of Cap d’Antibes. You might even cross paths with some of the region\u2019s top Tour de France-level cyclists!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to eat and drink in Antibes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are dozens of charming bistros in the Old Town dishing up classic Mediterranean cuisine. You\u2019ll find region specialities like bouillabaisse, fresh seafood and Italian-influenced pizza and pasta. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants right on the water, so you can enjoy your food with a view. Just ask your Antibes guide for the best local recommendations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to treat yourself to a Michelin-starred affair, make a reservation at Bacon on the Cap d’Antibes. This family-run restaurant is one of the most renowned seafood restaurants in the region, and has been a hit ever since it opened as a seafood shack back in the 1940s. Today, it\u2019s an elegant restaurant with stunning views over the Cote d’Azur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re after a drink, you might like to head to Absinthe Bar in the Old Town. The walls of this cave-like bar are lined with a crazy collection of hats, and on Friday and Saturday nights, it turns into a piano bar where you can sing along to jazz classics while sipping absinthe. This once-forbidden liqueur is served in a traditional fashion, complete with a silver spoon and sugar cube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special events<\/strong> in Antibes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jazz \u00e0 Juan Festival<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since 1960, hordes of music lovers have arrived in Juan-les-Pins for a few days in July for the Jazz \u00e0 Juan Festival<\/a>. The event attracts dozens of famous international musicians, including past patrons like Stevie Wonder, Dave Brubeck and Ravi Coltrane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head to the sidewalk on Boulevard Edouard Baudoin behind the waterfront stage to find tiles with handprints of over 50 musicians who have performed at the festival. You can also enjoy concerts throughout the city as part of the Jazz Off, including 15 concerts on the streets of Antibes and Juan-les-Pins one evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
