Antibe

 Henry, our guide, telling us the history of Antibe
After our visit to Marche Provencal, Henry brought us to Antibe. Such a beauty and serene sight.

Antibes is a resort town in the Alpes-Maritimes department in southeastern France. It lies on the Mediterranean in the Côte d'Azur, located between Cannes and Nice. A place certainly worth a visit.



 Simply relaxing and chilling to nature
Antibes was founded as a 5th-century BC Greek colony settled by Phocaeans from Massilia, called Antípolis. Due to its naturally protected port, the town of Antibes has long been an important trading centre.

 From around the middle of the 19th century the Antibes area regained its popularity, as wealthy people from around Europe discovered its natural beauty and built luxurious homes here.

 There are many yachting harbours which provide moorings for a range of ships ranging from fishing vessels to full sized yachts.
