1. French food culture

According to UNESCO, it is very important to 'bring people together to enjoy the art of good eating and drinking'. Finding a balance between human beings and the products of nature and finding the pleasure of taste is a very powerful force. France is the country of wine and gastronomy and each region has its own culinary specialties. Recognised as an intangible cultural heritage, French gastronomic meals often consist of hors d'œuvre or entrée, a main course and a cheese course or dessert. Try some cassoulets, foie-gras, moules marinières, coq au vin, bouillabaisse and dozens of cheese varieties. Book a villa in Antibes and taste the best wines of Provence and raise your taste buds!

2. Sip Absinthe, enjoy a great evening

A crazy collection of hats (yours to wear for the evening) line the walls Absinthe Bar is a unique cave-like bar close to the covered market and the weekends, the venue turns into a piano bar where you can sip this special liqueur served up with a silver spoon and a sugar cube. If you want a bit more fun, we recommend our villas in Monte Carlo. The options you will find there for the evening are limitless and there is something for everyone.

3. Hike along the coast

On Cap d’Antibes, from the Garoupe beaches, you can take the coastal footpath and enjoy a two-hour walk around the peninsula. Depart to the east of Garoupe Beach, where you’ll find the start of the footpath that runs along the sea. After walking around 2.5 kilometres, take the Chemin des Douaniers on the right, to leave the seafront. Then turn left onto Avenue Mrs Beaumont. Continue on this avenue to Boulevard Kennedy, where you will turn right to rejoin the Avenue Tour Gandolphe, then Avenue André Sella, which will take you to the car park for Garoupe Beach.

4. Hit the market!

The Provençal daily market in Masséna opens from 7 am to 1 pm and there you can find superb cheese, fresh fish and colourful flowers. From June to September, there is an artisan showcase with local and foreign artists showing their sculptures, paintings and pottery. And July and August are the months when night markets are held in the Promenade du Soleil, in Juan-les-Pins and in L’Esplanade du Pré-des-Pêcheurs in Antibes. So if you decide to rent a villa in Antibes for these dates, you can't miss these events.

5. Visit the Musée Picasso

Like many other celebrities, Pablo Picasso was in love with Antibes. He turned the Château Grimaldi into his personal studio in 1946.

7. Stroll along Port Vauvan

Port Vauvan is the name of the port of Antibes and it is also the main tourist centre of the region. It was fortified during the seventeenth century, which is why it still retains part of the fortress and is considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
