Antibes, at an unhurried pace.

Market morning

Old Antibes in the morning

Begin beneath the covered Provençal market, then wander the narrow lanes, ramparts and small artisan streets without trying to follow a strict route. It is the best introduction to the city’s scale and atmosphere.

Easy afternoon

Choose the beach for the day

La Gravette is convenient from the old town. Ponteil and Salis offer long sandy stretches, while the Cap has smaller coves and a quieter feel. Conditions and access can change, so check the official beach page before leaving.

Good shoes required

Walk the edge of the Cap

The coastal paths around Cap d’Antibes bring the sea, limestone and pines together. Weather and conservation work can close individual sections, so use the tourism office page for the latest route information.

Old town or waterfront

Lunch by mood, not by checklist

Choose a shaded old town table for a slower lunch, the harbour for an open view, or the beach for a relaxed afternoon. Our current restaurant shortlist is shared privately with confirmed guests because openings and standards change.

A Riviera day trip

Keep one day open

A free day can become a village visit, a drive along the coast or a return to the beach that suited you best. The official three day itinerary is a useful starting point without making the stay feel over planned.

Villa evening

Come back for dinner at home

Not every day needs another reservation. Pick up produce in town, return to the garden and let the outdoor table become the evening plan. The two kitchens make dinner for ten straightforward.
