Antibes Tourist Information
Antibes is a busy town favoured by English expats, which explains the presence of grocery shop, Geoffreys of London, The Blue Lady Pub and Indian restaurant Achiana - as well as plenty of French restaurants, shops for souvenirs such as colourful provençal tablecloths and the recently renovated Picasso museum.
The main feature of Antibes is a splendid old harbour with boats of every size and 'yachties' from all over the world.
Antib
es is the second largest town in the region after Nice. The old town is well worth exploring.
Try lunch in the courtyard of L'Auberge Provencale, place Nationale - set lunch
from 17.50 euros and dinner from 34.50 euros.
This former convent also offers a few rather nice hotel rooms.
