Antibes Tourist Information

Antibes Tourist

Antibes is a busy town favoured by English expats and "yachties" which explains the presence of grocery shop, Geoffreys of London.  

The Picasso museum is a must do.  
The main feature of Antibes is a splendid harbour with boats of every size together with the nearby old town, its ramparts and an intricate maze of narrow streets boasting lovely shops and many restaurants and cafes. The fort Carre can be seen in the forefront of the photograph.
Antibes is the third largest town in the area after Nice and Cannes.  


If driving, Antibes offers Park and Ride and numerous car parks in the town centre but finding a place anywhere is often difficult. Best to take a train or bus (200) from Cannes.   
Many tours are available, including in English, from the Antibes Tourist Office  11 place de Gaulle 04 97 23 11 25/24.
