Picasso, jazz and island life with a yacht charter Antibes
Small alleyways and sprawling backcountry forests are just a fraction of what awaits you in Antibes. Once founded around 400 BC by the Greeks as a trading post, today more than 76,000 people live here. The old town enchants with its former city walls, the cathedral with its Saracen towers and the Picasso Museum in the Chateau Grimaldi. Over 250 works by the artist are exhibited here. A wonderful view over Antibes is offered by Fort Carré, built in 1553, a fortress that has been extended over the centuries and is located on a hill behind the harbor. If you happen to be in Antibes in July, don't miss the international festival "Jazz in Juan".
