 | |  |  | Antibes, a wonderful surprise | |  |  | |  |
The Old Town, le Vieil Antibes, is a truly authentic unspoilt cobblestoned village far removed from the high tech in the port. I fascinated explored the maze of tiny streets and cobble stoned lanes. It was so romantic lose one's way... every corner was a surprise, till Antibes’ Town Hall and a covered Marchée Provençal. This market was irresistible, just the enticing fragrance of spices and fresh fruit and vegetables, fish, cheese, flowers, honey, jams and other confectionery, fresh and dried herbs are attractively displayed.
Beyond the city centre lies the Cap d'Antibes. The Cap is a lush setting of some very large and very expensive estates, anyway my goal was the lighthouse at the highest point. It was very hard to reach it, but what a great view all over the coast.
If you like taking picture, afeter a day spent on Cap you can captured sunset light and boats' reflections at Port Vauban. The Fort Carré on background will be like a gem in your picture!

The best part about Antibes is that you get the beautiful scenery of the Cote D'Azur, but a much more open, laid-back atmosphere. Especially if you are in your twenties and thirties, this is a great place to kick back, enjoy a drink, and meet lots of interesting people from around the world! This town is very special and should not be missed by any traveler on any budget. Leave a Comment
