Antibes


Antibes
Antibes is part of the Alpes Maritimes department, lying between Cannes and Nice, and is the Riviera’s third largest town. The correct name of the town is Antibes but it is also called Antibes-Juan-les-Pins. The Juan-les-Pins area is a very popular holiday resort with beautiful beaches, lots of restaurants, bars, discos, casino and a lively night-life.

Antibes was founded by the Greeks under the name Antipolis ”the town across from” which means across from another Greek town, Nikaia, - today’s Nice.

Unfortunately there’s nothing remaining from that early period, apart from a few objects that can be found at the town museum. With the arrival of the Romans, a very important town was established around Antibes. Unfortunately, not much survived from that period either. Furthermore, Antibes is the only town on the Riviera that has been fortified.
The old quarter in Antibes

Vieil Antibes, the old part of town, is without doubt the biggest sight in town.

It is extremely interesting. Especially worth checking out is the labyrinth of narrow streets between Rue James Close and the bus station. The old part of town lies by the water south of the harbour. Here one can also find Château Grimaldi, the home of Musée Picasso. After the 2nd World War the old castle on the waterfront was made available for Picasso who found rich possibilities to unfold his creative talents. When he moved on, he gave the ”commune”, who planned on opening a museum, almost everything he had drawn and painted during his stay there. It is, therefore, a unique collection, consisting of 27 paintings, 44 drawings, 2 sculptures, 50 engravings and 75 original ceramic works – absolutely worth a visit.
The marina in Antibes

There is a beautiful old harbour in Antibes with the biggest marina in Europe.

The inner harbour houses hundreds of vessels, whilst the outer harbour is full of big expensive yachts.

Antibes is also the home of the coasts’ most famous Marineland, where dolphins and killer whales perform daily in Europe’s biggest marine show.

The marina in Antibes

The peninsula, Cap d’Antibes, is reserved for the very rich.

Unfortunately the many fantastic villas are mostly hidden behind high walls. The place is still worth a visit due to its beauty. Out there, there is also a pretty little sandy beach open to the public.
