Provença-Alpes-Costa Azul

Antibes

Antibes sits between Cannes and Nice and combines a walled seaside old town, the Musée Picasso in the Château Grimaldi, and Port Vauban with its huge yachts. The Fort Carré guards the harbour entrance, the Cap d'Antibes has a coastal path over the rocks and the Villa Eilenroc, and Juan-les-Pins offers sandy beaches and the Jazz à Juan festival in July.

Cannes

Cannes is the city of the film festival, with the Palais des Festivals and the Boulevard de la Croisette along sandy beaches. The old quarter of Le Suquet, atop the hill, preserves the monks' castle and offers views over the bay. A few minutes by boat are the Îles de Lérins, with the fort of the Man in the Iron Mask and an abbey that is still inhabited. The Marché Forville shows the city's daily life.
