Destination and Things To Do
Cannes
Cannes is a 15 minute drive/23 minute train ride from Antibes. Renowned for its International Film Festival, Cannes is also the premier shopping destination of the Riviera along the famous Croisette where you’ll find all the most prestigious luxury brands. With its casino, nightlife and congress facilities, Cannes also draws from the mystery of the Lérins Islands that sit opposite the town – unique gems of natural and historical interest.
Nice
Nice is a 30 minute drive/43 minute train ride from Antibes. A city of many scents and flavors, Nice has a rich cultural and historical heritage. Between the mountains and the sea, this dynamic city unveils many surprises in the old town with its flower market and its museums (Chagall, Matisse..). The new grass-covered promenade and the Botanical Gardens offer a chance to enjoy a stroll in romantic settings.
Antibes- Musée Picasso
A cultural and artistic town, Antibes epitomizes the 'dolce vita' of the Riviera. The Greek and Roman walls encircle the old town in which you’ll find, amongst other interesting sites, the Grimaldi Castle, the Picasso Museum and the famous Provencal market. A nautical town with its celebrated Millionaires’ Quay, Antibes is the largest port in the Mediterranean offering all the necessary infrastructure to welcome mega yachts.
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo is a 50 minute drive/1h20m train ride from Antibes. The "scenic" route is a bit longer, but worth it for the views!!
Èze
Eze is a medieval village perched like an eagle's nest on a narrow rocky peak overlooking the Mediterranean sea. The ancient fortified village is still crowned with the ruins of its 12th-century fortified castle (torn down in 1706), sitting on a narrow rocky peak. The castle grounds host the well-known Jardin Exotique, and from the top you'll have an great view of the coast.
