Antibes/Rostagne/Meerblick

Antibes occupies a singular position on the Côte d’Azur, sitting between Cannes and Nice on a peninsula that has drawn artists, writers, and wealthy residents for well over a century. The old town, enclosed by Vauban-designed ramparts, gives the city a historical density rare on this coastline, while the Cap d’Antibes to the south remains one of the most prestigious residential addresses in France. The result is a city that balances genuine urban life with the privacy and landscape that define the French Riviera.

Daily life in Antibes centres on the Marché Provençal on Cours Masséna, open every morning except Monday. The old port offers restaurants including Le Vauban and Chez Juliette. Beaches such as La Gravette and those along the Boulevard du Cap are within easy reach. Juan-les-Pins, immediately adjacent, adds a further layer of dining and nightlife options.

Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately 20 kilometres from Antibes, reachable in around 25 minutes by car or via direct train from Antibes station. The station also connects to Cannes in under 15 minutes and to Monaco in roughly 40 minutes. The A8 motorway provides direct road access to both Nice and Cannes, and to Italy via the border at Menton.
