Antibes Tourist Information
Antibes is a busy town favoured by English expats which explains the presence of grocery shop, Geoffreys of London, The Blue Lady Pub and Indian restaurant - Achiana. There are plenty of French and Italian restaurants as well. Souvenir shops offer colourful provençal table cloths. The recently renovated Picasso museum is a must do. The main feature of Antibes is a splendid old harbour with boats of every size and 'yachties' from all over the world. Antibes is the second largest town in the region after Nice. The old town is well worth exploring.
The town is full of good restaurants and cafes.
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 from the Antibes Tourist Office (English member Lucy Howard))
