Antibes is a gorgeous resort town located along the banks of the French Riviera, approximately halfway between the cities of Nice and Cannes. The historic city is known throughout Europe for its preserved old town district, which is enclosed with 16th-century fortifications as part of the uniquely star-shaped Fort Carré. More than four dozen beaches line the city's 16 miles of stunning coastline, which butts up against the chic resort town of Juan-les-Pins on the lushly forested Cap d'Antibes peninsula.
Visitors to Antibes can explore a plethora of cultural attractions in town, including the city's Archaeology Museum, the Naval Museum of Napoleon, and the Picasso Museum, which houses one of the world's greatest collections by the famed Cubist artist. Other unique attractions include the Absinthe Museum, dedicated to the history of the iconic liqueur, and the Hôtel du Cap-Eden Roc, one of the world's most acclaimed luxury resorts.
