Antibes

Rita on the seawall in front of the Antibes Old City Wall and the Old Town in the background


Our location is excellent as it’s on the edge of the old town and so we can easily explore all the historic areas within minutes from our door. We are also just across from the seawall which runs along the coast for miles. Rita and I took off for a 2 ½ hour walk along the seawall to explore the area. We made a side trip up to the lighthouse with its great views and then back down to the water following the trail along the rocky coast below exclusive mansions the locals call the “Bay of Millionaires”
We are very happy with Antibes as it is located between Cannes and Nice, but it’s not as big or as expensive. It’s also feels more relaxed and laid back than either of the other two cities. However, it does boast the biggest yacht harbor and has a special section to handle the “Super Yachts”. Tomorrow we will visit Monaco.

"Super Yacht" section at Antibes Yacht Harbor. We have absolutely no concept of the money some people have.
