Antibes-Juan-les-Pins
POP 76,800
Antibes is a concentrate of Mediterranean history: the town's sea walls bear witness
to a defensive past (when neighbouring Nice had switched allegiance to rival Sa-
voy); Golfe Juan staged Napoléon Bonaparte's triumphant return from exile in Elba;
Picasso painted in the Château Grimaldi; and F Scott Fitzgerald wrote his seminal
novel
Tender is the Night
based on life in Antibes.
Nowadays, Antibes sports the second-biggest marina in Europe and attracts
throngs of 'yachties' in search of seafaring adventures.
