Antibes

Mediterranean French port

Antibes is a Mediterranean resort city on the French Riviera, between Nice and Cannes.

Known for its old town, yacht harbor, and the Picasso Museum, it has long attracted artists and the wealthy: We spent a week in Antibes.

The name often evokes leisure and Côte d'Azur glamour.
