Antibes

Few cities in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur have a history as closely tied to Mediterranean seafaring as Antibes. Known in antiquity as Antipolis, it developed from a Greek settlement and later served as a Roman town on the coast. The walled old town meets the sea beside Port Vauban, while the wooded Cap d’Antibes extends between Baie des Anges and Golfe Juan. Fort Carré, a star-shaped fort above the harbour, recalls the strategic importance of this shoreline. Picasso worked at Château Grimaldi in 1946; it now houses the Musée Picasso.
