Antibes is set in the heart of the popular French Riviera between Nice and Cannes. Dating back over 2,500 years the town is rich in history and culture influenced by the Greeks and the Romans who settled here. A gentle stroll through the maze of narrow streets and alleys of the old town rewards the visitor with a cornucopia of aromas and tastes to delight the senses. With the wide range of shops, boutiques and the Provencal market all offering
local produce and crafts, there is something to tempt everyone. As Antibes is so well situated it is easy to visit well known places such as Cannes, famous for the film festival, designer shops, the port and the old town as well as the popular city of Nice. Monte Carlo, Cap Ferrat, Mougins, St Paul de Vence and Italy are also within easy reach by using the excellent public transport which is both cheap and reliable. A splendid way to visit the charming town of St Tropez is to take a boat ride from Juan Les Pins or Cannes
