Antibes accommodation
Antibes, together with the seaside resort of Juan les Pins,with its
marina Port Vauban the largest marina in Europe, is a popular holiday
destination on the Cote d'Azur. The city is very well connected with
other sea resorts in the area, it is close to the Route 8, the railway
line from Marseille to Monaco, and in the immediate vicinity of the
airport of Nice. In Antibes is the Picasso Museum in Chateau Grimaldi
and contains all the work that Pablo Picasso did during his stay in
Antibes. The Jazz Festival of Juan les Pins has gain a reputation
worldwide. Given the success by the first edition of the Jazz Festival
in Juan les Pins was renewed every year in July.
Further south is the famous peninsula Cap d'Antibes where Francis Scott
Fitzgerald set part of his novel, Tender is the night, and one of the
most exclusive (and expensive) hotels in the world, the Hotel du Cap.
The beach promenades of Golfe Juan and Juan les Pins are typical of the
Côte d'Azur with residential buildings near to the seafront, palm
promenades. The best beaches located in the east of Juan-les-Pins
between the casino and the Port de Gallice. The rocky peninsula of Cap
d'Antibes has few beaches. In the vicinity of the old city, there are no
beaches, a smaller beach lies south of it, at the narrowest point of the
peninsula, the major beaches are far to the north.
In the 5th century BC settled here the Greeks from Massilia (Marseille)
a trading post at the western end of the big Baie des Anges. Because of
its location in front of Nikea (Nice) to the other side of the bay, the
new settlement, the present Antibes, was called Antipolis. A big name
for a small town, because it covered only a space between the sea and
the current cours Massena, surrounded by a a small dock with a port. Two
centuries later came the Romans, who brought prosperity to large
Antipolis and the important city expand and strengthened. During the 5th
century bc the city was completely destroyed. Of the buildings from the
old time is therefore virtually nothing remaining. The French kings made
Antibes to a strong fortified city, the Fort Carre on the north side of
the bay Anse-Saint-Roch, still remains. Around 1895, the beautiful
strongholds were demolished .
