LEARN FRENCH IN ANTIBES

Antibes is a resort town of southeastern France, on the Mediterranean Sea in the Côte d'Azur, located between Cannes and Nice. It is c. 20 km by rail southwest of Nice, and is situated on the east side of the Garoupe peninsula.

About the city

Population: 72,412 (1999)
Antibes is extremely animated, has one of the finest markets on the coast and the best Picasso collection in its ancient seafront castle; and the southern end of the Cap still has its woods of pine, in which the most exclusive mansions hide.

The sixteenth-century Château Grimaldi is a beautifully cool, light space, with hexagonal terracotta floor tiles, windows over the sea and a terrace garden with sculptures by Germaine Richier, Miró, César and others. In 1946, Picasso was offered the dusty building - by then already a museum - as a studio. Alongside the castle is the cathedral , built on the site of an ancient temple.

The choir and apse survive from the Romanesque building that served the city in the Middle Ages while the nave and stunning ochre facade are Baroque. Inside, in the south transept, is a sumptuous medieval altarpiece surrounded by immaculate panels of tiny detailed scenes.

Plage de la Salis , the longest Antibes beach, runs along the eastern neck of Cap d'Antibes, with no big hotels owning mattress exploitation rights - an amazing rarity on the Riviera. To the south, at the top of chemin du Calvaire, you can get superb views from the Église de la Garoupe, which contains Russian spoils from the Crimean War and hundreds of ex votos. To the west, on boulevard du Cap between chemins du Tamisier and G.-Raymond, you can wander around the Jardin Thuret, botanical gardens belonging to a national research institute.

Back on the east shore, further south, a second beach, plage de la Garoupe , now heavily colonized by sun beds, is linked by a footpath to the peninsula's southern tip. There are more sandy coves and little harbours along the western shore, where you'll also find the Musée Naval et Napoléonien.
