Antibes

Nestled between Cannes and Nice on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur), Antibes is a resort town known for its Old town enclosed by 16th-century ramparts with the star-shaped Fort Carré, with its 360-degree panoramic views. Today Antibes is famous as one of the Mediterranean's premier luxury harbors, where sleek white, multi-million dollar mega yachts bob in the sheltered harbor. Blessed with a mild climate and flourishing vegetation, Antibes also has an important commercial flower-growing industry that includes roses, carnations and other blooms. Be sure to visit the renowned Musée Picasso housed in the Chateau Grimaldi, an impressive stone castle with views of the sea. The museum offers a unique insight into the work produced by Picasso and also has an extensive collection of contemporary art.
