City of the Mediterranean, Antibes, Juan-les-Pins is characterized by its 25 kilometers of coasts offering a broad panoply of marine landscapes: splits, rock escarpments, fine sand beaches or pebble beach.

Antibes-Juan the Pins is one of the stations headlight of the Riviera, located between Nice (in 20 km) and Cannes (with 12km). All at the same time city-museum, city-spectacle and city-innovative, it mixes with ease its contrasts and its multiple facets.

Juan the Pines is the most animated part, even agitated, of the city. The night birds hustle themselves there the summer between spectacles of streets, night clubs, casino and even night shopping… Antibes remains wiser with many restaurants, theatre workshops, pianos bars, hotels smart and private clubs.

Town of history:

Antibes remained a long time the only significant metropolis between Marseilles and Italy. Only city of the coast has to be surrounded by ramparts, it preserves each time of its history a rich person inheritance. Castles, bastion and turn of enclosure are transformed today into museum of modern art, museum of history and archaeology or popular traditions.

It is in old Antibe that you will discover the majority of its treasures. For better impregnating you with his atmosphere, visit with foot, quietly while strolling of lanes in small places… and let guide itself by the charm of its small workshops of craftsmen working opened doors, its tradesmen, its frontages faded by the sun and the good odors of the dishes which mijotent which escapes from the windows....

Balneal city:

25 km of coasts where follow one another pebble beaches or fine sand (private and public), splits secret and not less than 5 ports (Vauban, Galice, Crouton, Olivette and Salis). Those which like to be trotted along the quays to admire the boats will be filled… Port Vauban is the largest marina of Europe! Useless to specify that to the level of the leisures and water sports all the possibilities are offered.

Town of festival:

Legendary "Jazz with Juan" joined together since almost 40 years the great names of the jazz. De Bechet, Armstrong with Coltrane, while passing by Davis Miles or sublimates it Ella… they were all there. Today still, the pine forest of Juan the Pins is the appointment of the "great sizes" of the Jazz and the stars of tomorrow.
