Antibes coast and old-town sights

Why go

Use this set to choose between the town and cape. The old-town church, Port Vauban and Musée Picasso keep Antibes’ older fabric and artistic life in view. Port de l’Olivette, Garoupe hill and the Cap d’Antibes Coastal Path offer separate coastal choices.

What to look for

• The old-town church has an eighteenth-century façade over a much older religious site.
• Port de l’Olivette shelters wooden fishing boats in a small cove.
• The Garoupe hill gives a higher outlook over the coast.

Useful to know

• Pair the church with Port Vauban for a compact old-town visit.
• Set aside a separate coastal outing for Port de l’Olivette and the Garoupe hill; they are away from the old-town cluster.
