    At the beginning of June takes place in Antibes a meeting of classic yachts. Yawl, Sloop, Ketch, they are all beautiful and they compete in fierce races during 5 days. Being in Antibes at that period allows you to enjoy the signt of these beautiful yachts.

    Definitely to Port Vaubain to see and wonder the yachts and the marine life. Also to Old Antibes - and definitely have a lunch in this wonderful place. Go around, sit for a while, watch these wealthy people pass by, their lifestyle. Many seem to have a very small dog as a pet here.

    What I really miss from Antibes is the sun and blue sky as well as the nice hot -but not too hot- weather. I also liked a lot the local food - it is delicious as in everywhere in the French Riviera. What I especially miss is just being there, stopping somewhere, walk a little bit, enjoying the rich people's athmosphere. It is like to be a part of it for a while. I enjoyed just watching and being amazed of the yachts that could be 30-40 m long and high like a house. To me some of them looked and seemed to be as big as our catamarans that cruise from Helsinki/Finland to Tallinn/Estonia! People. Here we met the nicest people of the whole trip: we had our lunch in the old town of Antibes, outside in the shadow. Next to us sat a couple, propably 20 years older than us. We started to talk, (I wondered where did my school French come from...), and had a good time together. Finally the gentleman wanted to offer us our coffees. Very kind of him. They said that they were still living in Paris but just bought a house from Juan Les Pins-Antibes area for the weather and athmosphere. I don't wonder their decision...

    C'est La Vie
    Everything!!!!! Food, Cheese, Desserts, Pastries, People and the list goes on.... Downtown Antibes would be THE place to see and be seen.

    My experience shared with the the french family is something I valued most as I get to learn their daily lifestyle and culture.
