Antibes - 1 day itinerary

Have you decided to visit Antibes in 1 day? Excellent idea, you won’t have time to get bored! Ideally located between Cannes and Nice, Antibes is famous for its beaches and the seaside resort of Juan-les-Pins. Visit Fort Carré in the morning. With its famous star-shaped architecture and 4-hectare park, we were impressed! Located next to Port Vauban, this is one of the first bastioned forts built during the Renaissance. It dates back to the 16th century, when Henry II, King of France, needed a sentry to watch over the border with the Duchy of Savoy, then occupying the County of Nice. Lunch in one of Old Antibes restaurant Then visit the museums of Antibes Juan-les-Pins, you can opt for the Pass’Musées. It’s a great way to discover the city’s 4 major cultural sites: the Musée Picasso, the Musée d’Archéologie, the Musée Peynet et du Dessin Humoristique, and the Fort Carré. At a cost of €10, it gives you free access to these museums for 7 days, starting from the first time you enter one of them. In addition, it can be stored for 1 year before first use. Even if you’ve probably lost your appetite, stop by the Marché Provençal. In a charming covered market in the Cour Masséna, you’ll find 50 stalls selling souvenirs of your trip (wicker baskets, local jams…). #100waysoftravel
