Cap D'antibes | Penthouse Facing The Sea

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’s 17th-century ramparts, gives the city a historical density rare on this coastline, while Cap d’Antibes to the south remains one of the most coveted residential addresses in France, defined by grand villas, mature pine forests, and direct access to the Mediterranean.

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. The Picasso Museum, housed in the Château Grimaldi, is a five-minute walk from the market. Cap d’Antibes has its own beaches, including the Plage de la Garoupe, and the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc for dining.

Antibes train station connects directly to Nice in around 25 minutes and to Cannes in under 15 minutes, with frequent TGV services running through the region. Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately 20 kilometres away, reachable in 20 to 30 minutes by car, and serves direct routes to most major European cities as well as intercontinental destinations. The A8 motorway provides fast road access along the entire Riviera corridor.
