Things To Do
Old Town Antibes
Described by visitors as "enchanting" and "lovely," the Old Town of Antibes, or vielle ville, is filled with quintessential cobblestone streets, small storefronts and charming cafes. Many past visitors said you should set aside half a day to get lost among Old Town's charming alleyways, stopping for a delicious crepe and some entertaining people-watching as you please. Within the Old Town, you'll also find several other attractions, including the Picasso Museum, the market and Fort Carré.
Mougins
20 minutes from Antibes. Perched on a hilltop overlooking the purple and green landscapes of Grasse, Mougins is the quintessential medieval French town. Winding cobbled lanes meander past softly painted homes, while the skinny Cyprus trees sway in the breeze. The breath-taking light of Mougins has been attracting artists for generations - Pablo Picasso spent the last 12 years of his life here. There's also a rich gastronomic heritage. World-renowned chef Alain Ducasse cut his teeth under legendary Roger Vergé at Moulin de Mougins. There's much to discover in and around the village, which is an easy wander from Le Mas Candille.
Èze
40 minutes from Antibes. Eze is a beautiful hilltop medieval village in the south of France, between Monaco and Nice. The village is famous for its spectacular views, architecture, and stunning geographical location above the French Riviera.
Cannes
20 minutes from Antibes. Of course, when talking about Cannes, we inevitably think about the International Film Festival and la Croisette, the unmissable seafront promenade. Cannes instantly exudes charm and wins over anyone passing through. Its private and public beaches, its sunshine, its countless cafés and luxury stores no doubt have something to do with it. In addition, Cannes is located near the îles de Lérins: Sainte-Marguerite (Lero) and Saint-Honorat (Lerina) are real havens of peace in which time appears to stand still. You will appreciate the peace and quiet and protected environment. It is in the Fort de Sainte-Marguerite that was imprisoned the infamous Man in the Iron Mask, the identity of whom is still disputed by historians.
Monte Carlo
1 hour from Antibes. Monaco is one of the most luxurious and glamorous vacation destination in the Mediterranean. Attracting both royalty and the rich and famous, the beaches and marinas are packed with visitors every summer. A principality ruled by Prince Albert II, Monaco has had a long connection to the movie industry. The Prince’s late mother was American actress Grace Kelly and the country has widely been featured in blockbusters such as James Bond's Golden Eye, Iron Man 2 and Ocean’s 12.
Saint-Tropez
90 minutes from Antibes. Saint-Tropez is one of the best places to visit in France to experience the glamour and beauty of the French Riviera. This sun-drenched resort town offers gorgeous sandy beaches and exclusive beach clubs along with a delightful historic village. The appeal of Saint-Tropez was first discovered in the late 19th century by the Impressionist painter Paul Signac, who later lured artists such as Matisse and Marquet here. Then in 1955, the film Et Dieu Créa la Femme (And God Created Woman), starring Brigitte Bardot, forever changed this small port town into a legendary seaside resort, sparkling amid the glitz of the Côte d'Azur.
