Flourishing
Nature in all its majesty
C
An exceptional patrimonial legacy in the heart of one
of the most beautiful sites in the Côte d’Azur,
Europe’s largest port and largest business hub, a
preserved coastline and sea floor, protected fauna
and flora, seaside tourism, quality cultural and
sporting events occurring throughout the year, a
premier European science and technology park
unequaled for Research and Development, but also
for environmental integration... a pro-active policy
concerning large-scale, well-equipped facilities
(creation of a new conference center, a new
auditorium, etc.)
Antibes Juan-les-Pins has many assets, as the second
largest city in the Alpes-Maritimes, an especially
sought-after destination, ideally located between
Nice and Cannes, near the Nice Côte d’Azur
International Airport.
Known around the world for having "invented" water
skiing in the summer of the 1920s, ideally located on
a jewel of a peninsula, Antibes Juan-les-Pins, bathed in
the intense blue of the Mediterranean, offers visitors
its 25 km of coastline replete with fine sand beaches,
sunny little coves, exceptional areas for snorkelling
and beautiful stretches of water.
All the pleasures of the sea await you: swimming,
restaurants on the beach, water skiing, scuba diving,
sailing, wind surfing, canoeing, parasailing...
2640 hours of sun per year, a preserved coastline and
sea floor, gardens and green spaces which are true
oases...
Here you’ll find nature in all its majesty, in the heart
of a coastline known as "Blue Pavilion," thanks to its
policy combining tourism development with
environmental protection.

Throughout the year, Antibes Juan-les-Pins welcomes
a veritable explosion of events to seduce even the
most demanding visitors : "Jazz à Juan" International
Jazz Festival, Festival d’Art Sacré, Antibes Génération
Virtuoses, International Bridge Festival, Méditerranéa,
International Festival of Underwater Images and
Adventure, "Art Fair" Antique Show, Antibes Yacht
Show, "Voiles d’Antibes," Pyromelodic Festival...
Anthéa is the largest theater to be built in France in
the last decade, one of the most beautiful cultural
tools in the Côte d'Azur. The building’s shape was
inspired by the Fort Carré d’Antibes, updated
according to modern design. The architecture of the
theater reflects the common theme displayed in this
extraordinary place: surprising, mixing genres,
promoting interaction and multidisciplinarity. It offers
varied programming with everything from musical
comedy to danse to theater, opera, and music.

DELVING INTO HERITAGE
From Antipolis to Antibes
Antibes Step-by-Step
Antibes Juan-les-Pins: two names for one town with many faces, in the heart of the legendary
Côte d'Azur.
Port Vauban
6
Like a living dream, Port Vauban is where the world’s
most luxurious ships contemplate Billionaires Wharf at
Fort-Carré (1), a reminder of some of the most
prestigious moments in Antibes’ history. In front of the
wharf where Guy de Maupassant often came to drop
anchor with his "Bel Ami”, Bastion Saint-Jaume (2),
fantastically built against the vaulted ramparts inherited
by Vauban, which long housed a defense tower that protected, along with the fort, the Saint-Roch cove against
pirates and other enemies. Having seen the end of the
Crusades and the sea movement in Antibes, the space
retains its authenticity, under the curatorial watch of the
impressive "nomad" of Sculpture, Jaume Plensa.You enter
by the sea Gate (3) which was the only entrance to
the port, for centuries, when the ramparts surrounded
Antibes. On the right, along the length of the Curtain
Wall (4), the boulevard d’Aguillon, one of the
liveliest areas in Antibes and the "Bains-Douches”
(Bath/Shower) exhibit space, located in the former
blockhouses, La fontaine d’Aguillon (5), and that
of rue Clemenceau (6), pay homage to the
brigadier general of the royal army of Génie, who gave
Antibes "pure, limpid” water by restoring the Roman
aqueduct of Fontvieille.
From the Rampe des Saleurs (Salters’ Ramp), so named
for the fishermen of yesteryear salting their fish, the
Amiral de Grasse promenade (7), where
Nicolas de Staël lived, reveals the splendor of the
landscape.The vestige of the ramparts traces the former
rampart walk built according to the plans of Vauban.
This is the oldest part of Antibes, rich with three
thousand years of history, to which the remains of the
ancient Roman walls attest. History is all around you,
from the Place du Révély (8), the Saint-Esprit
chapel, the childhood home of Jacques Audiberti, the
cathedral, the "sarrasine” towers and the ancient
Château Grimaldi (9), turned Picasso Museum and
temple of "joie de vivre” (love of life). A stone’s throw
from Bastion Saint-André (10), caretaker of the
land and underwater vestiges of ancient Antipolis, the
bust of Victor Hugo bears witness to the wonder of the
poet. Further down, the free municipality of
Safranier houses the tiny home of Nikos Kazantzakis,
author of "Alexis Zorba.”
A delicate interplay of narrow passageways where the
sun plays with the foliage and where Prévert, Mistinguett,
Jünger Hartung and even Graham Greene loved to stroll
about. Discover the Tourraque fountain and the
former wash house (11), where the Antibians did
their washing in the olden days. Perpetual Antibes with
the Orme portal (12), its Greco-Roman remnants
and its museum of "Arts et traditions populaires” (Arts
and Popular Traditions), all of which are interlaced among
passageways with intriguing names. The provençal
Market on avenue Masséna, one of the most
renowned in the Côte d’Azur, unfolds its rich stalls every
morning, a feast of scents and accents.The buildings lining
this market are very old, and in the Middle Ages they
composed what was known as "the Village." The Peynet
Museum and its humorous design, across from the pilars
of Place Nationale (13), given to the city by Louis
XVIII, is an invitation to dream and fantasize, before
meandering through the shaded streets of the old city.
Admire the Saint-Bernardin chapel (14) built in
1513, the Fontvieille fountain (15) or even the
Gateway to France (16), which marks the border of the
old city before the ramparts were leveled, at the end of
the 19th century, to build the new city and Place de
Gaulle.

Juan-les-Pins
Heightened
relaxation
Covered in greenery, the Gallice port (17) encircles
the Juan-les-Pins Bay, international capital with a certain
"zest for life," with its numerous palaces and night life, for
which it is known worldwide. Overlooking the port,
the Juan-les-Pins château (18) was the Azurean
destination of Rudolf Valentino, lover of the world.
A place for the Fitzgeralds to crash during the 1920s,
the Saint-Louis villa set the scene for a gleaming society
life, interspersed with the healthy pleasures of the
beach. Becoming a palace, the Belles-Rives (19) still
contains its furniture from the 1930s. It has welcomed
Picasso, Gérard Philipe, Ramon Novarro, Umberto of
Italy, Joséphine Baker, and Edith Piaf. Built in 1912, the villa
“La Vigie” (20) was purchased by Frank-Jay Gould,
Provençal builder. This is where his wife Florence would
welcome all the celebrities of the day: Gide, Martin du
Gard, Cocteau, Chaplin, Estée Lauder... The Provençal
(21) was one of Europe’s most elegant hotels. The perfect
place to lunch in the shade of the umbrellas while letting
your gaze rest on the intense blue waters of the
Mediterranean Sea. The world’s elite come here to
admire it. The Juana (22) has welcomed the great Ella
Fitzgerald, among other celebrities. Constructed in 1931,
the establishment remains one of the jewels of the local
Jaunise hotel scene. Since its construction, the façade,
classified as a historical monument, has not changed.
Temple of the International Jazz Festival, the Pinède
Gould (23) is to jazzmen around the world what the
Scala in Milan is for lyrical artists.This is where Ray Charles
and Miles Davis made their European debuts...
Near the hundred-year-old pines of the forest that lines
Juan-les-Pins Bay are legendary beaches of heated sand
where water skiing began. On the Promenade du
Soleil (24) (Sun Promenade) dreams the "Bather" from
the sculptor Grebel, symbol of a happy, carefree time.
A heightened state of relaxation is well-suited to Juan’s
cosmopolitan clientele, seduced by a unique ambiance
unequalled anywhere in the world. For those who like
to try their luck, the Eden Casino (25) awaits them,
with smoking jackets and evening gowns as well as tantalizing pleasures... Currently, the Exflora park (26)
offers you the pleasure of discovering 330 plant
varieties. Conceived in the style of the great gardens of
Côte d’Azur from the last century, it stretches across
five hectares, providing you with an amazing stroll
through time and space, from ancient Rome to the
exuberant 19th century Riviera.

Le Cap d'Antibes
From the small Port de la Salis (27), the calvary
path leads to the Garoupe sanctuary. Since time
immemorial, pilgrims gathered in front of the small
oratories conjuring up the “Chemin de croix”
(28) (Cross Path).
The Garoupe chapel (29) houses Notre- Dame
de la Garde and Notre-Dame de Bon-Port, whose
nave is papered with mainly marine votive paintings,
offering so many windows into the varied history of
Antibes, both small and great. On the stage, a
viewpoint indicator allows you to better understand
the magnificence of the point of view from which you
gaze. Nearby is the tiny oratory of "Notre-Dame des
Amoureux protégeant les foyers” (Our Lady of Lovers
Protecting Households), created by Raymond Peynet.
The Garoupe lighthouse (30) is one of the most
powerful in the region. At the foot of the hill spreads,
nonchalantly, the Garoupe Bay (31), renowned for
the beauty of its beaches where Colette loved to stroll,
amazed by the "now fresh, now warm sand under
useless feet." Leaving the beach, the Tire-Poil
pedestrian walkway (32) winds along countless
little coves for fishermen and sunbathers alike. Here,
the rambler gets a glimpse of the prestigious
properties of this privileged area along "Billionaire
Bay." Among these sumptuous villas in luxurious
gardens, Eilenroc (33), built according to the plans
of Charles Garnier, architect of the opera houses in
Paris and Monte-Carlo, envelops you in the rare
essences of its gardens and its thousand roses
cultivated in Antibes. The Hôtel du Cap Eden-Roc
(34), one of the world’s most luxurious, opened in
1870, was the first in the Côte d’Azur to open for the
summer season. Rita Hayworth, Marlène Dietrich,
Charles de Gaulle, Alain Delon, Sharon Stone, Clint
Eastwood, Georges Clooney and Brad Pitt are just a
few of the famous people who have stayed here.
The Thuret garden (35) was created in 1856 by
botanist Gustave Thuret. A number of plant varieties
previously unknown at that time have adapted to our
coastline, such as eucalyptus and the palm tree. This
immense ecological cathedral praised by Flaubert and
George Sand welcomes countless visitors each year.

"Give me a museum and I’ll fill it."
It was Picasso who said this, and then Antibes and
Picasso who accomplished it, in the prestigious
setting of château Grimaldi, evidence of several
milleniums of history of the ancient Greek Antipolis.
Constructed on the site of the Greek acropolis,
Roman fort, medieval castle, stately home by turns,
before becoming the Picasso Museum, château
Grimaldi d'Antibes bears witness to, in the eyes of
future generations, the prestigious past of ancient
Antipolis, rich with three milleniums of history.

Following a meeting on the beach between Dor de
la Souchère and Picasso, the painter accepted the
curator’s proposition to set up his studio in one of
the rooms of the castle. He painted there during the
course of six months, leaving in the museum almost
everything he created there. Likewise, the first music
dedicated to the living artist was born, on the sole
condition that the works created never leave the site.
If you wish to see the works of Picasso in Antibes,
you have to go to Antibes to see them, he would
often say.
One room of Château Grimaldi is dedicated to the
work of Nicolas de Staël, who became familiar with
Antibes during one of his most creative periods.
Alongside these remarkable exhibits, the acquisition
of numerous contemporary works (Léger Atlan,
Magnelli, Ernst, Picabia, Modigliani, Pagès or even
Hans Hartung, another adopted Antibian) contribute
to the museum’s worldwide influence.
In the ‘60s, Hans Hartung (1904-1989) and
Anna-Eva Bergman (1909-1987), major figures in
20th century abstraction, acquired land in the heights
of Antibes. It is on this two-hectare olive grove that
they will build their villa and their studios, according
to plans they drew up themselves, inspired by
Mediterranean architecture.
They moved there in 1973 and worked there until
the end of their lives. Today, this artists’ home is considered an architectural feat, part of 20th century
patrimony.

Guardian of land and underwater vestiges of ancient
Antipolis, the Saint-André bastion, built according
to plans drawn up by Vauban at the end of the
18th century, is now the site of the archeology
museum, which unites updated collections from city
excavations and the sea floor.
Reviving a glorious past, Etruscan, Greek, Phoenician and
Roman ships, which crossed paths at random during
evening storms: ceramics, amphora, mosaics, money and
objects from daily life testify to the extraordinary
prosperity of the powerful Roman “Civitas Antipolitana."

Built on the order of King Henri II of France in the
second half of the 16th century, this architectural
wonder is utterly remarkable, distinctly improved upon
by Vauban, long serving as a sentinel for the very close
border with the County of Nice, then hostile, as well as
a defense post for Antibes, final French port before this
border. The fort is encircled by a 4-hectare protected
park containing typically Mediterranean fauna and flora.

The gigantic figurehead Saint-Jaume bastion, curatorial

diaphanous composition assembled in cast-iron
letters, is a permanent invitation to travel in space
and sculpture itself. The work of Jaume Plensa,
renowned Catalan artist heir to the great sculptors
of the 20th century, it dominates the port, creating an
almost magical alchemy between the place, the work
and the public, seduced by this monumental statue
(8 m high) seated on the ramparts of Vauban,
contemplating the immensity of the Mediterranean.

PRELUDE TO A RAMBLE
An "Eco-cathedral"
La Villa Thuret
Created by botanist Gustave Thuret, who planted a
number of exotic plants here in the19th century, the
Thuret garden is a member of a very closed club of
200 "Remarkable Gardens." A seal of approval from
the department of culture granted patrimony to
exceptional parks open to the public. This garden
features trees, rich plantlife made exceptional by the
originality of the species, their number and the
development of certain ones (1600 species, mainly
exotic, or 2500 trees and bushes).
Its dynamic renewal of the collections is also singular
(annual introduction of 200 new species from seeds).
La Villa Eilenroc
Constructed around 1860 according to the plans of
Charles Garnier, architect of the Paris and
Monte-Carlo opera houses, the sumptuous Eilenroc
villa, in the heart of the cap d'Antibes, was
bequeathed to the city by Ms. L. D. Beaumont, its last
owner. In accordance with her wishes, today it is a
municipal foundation used to welcome distinguished
guests and to play a role in the prestige of the city.
At the start of the last century, talented gardeners
cultivated eleven hectares of sumptuous gardens on
the arid rock of the property, earning it the name
"jewel of Côte d'Azur." A large part of the park
surrounding the villa is planted with traditional
species, often native to the Mediterranean landscape.
At the heart of this veritable plant conservatory, the
rose garden offers the public the fragrances and
essences of its thousand varieties, largely cultivated in
Antibes Juan-les-Pins.
Le Parc Exflora
Parc Exflora offers visitors the pleasure of discovering
330 plant varieties. It is conceived in the style of
grand gardens in Côte d'Azur in the last century and
offers, on five hectares, a spectacular stroll through
time and space, from ancient Rome up to the
exuberant 19th century Riviera, from Italy to
Morocco, the entire surroundings lulled by the
enchanting gurgle of waterfalls and fountains.
La Villa Eilenroc
The Woods of Garoupe
Also known as Domaine Notre-Dame, the Woods of
Garoupe stretch across nine hectares. The majority is
a tall forest of green oaks mixed with Alep pines and
the occasional wild olive tree, accompanied by bay
trees, viburnum, acanthus, filaria, myrtle, strawberry
trees, etc. Although it covers a limited space, the
woods feature numerous rare species such as the
camelée, also known as the garoupe. For the past
several years a restoration and improvement
schedule has been underway to enhance this unique
natural area.
La Valmasque and La Brague
The wooded parks of La Valmasque and La Brague
are the largest in the region that are equipped for
city-dwellers and vacationers. La Valmasque, home to
the charming manor of the Fontmerle pond, covers
427 hectares and is bursting with trails, sports
activities and opportunities for play. The wooded
paths are lined with shaded parking areas and picnic
tables. Northwest of Sophia Antipolis lie the
373 hectares of La Brague Park, crisscrossed by the
river of the same name, providing a refreshing
atmosphere that inspires rambles.

resort "invented" at the start of the 19th century.
Designed in a grid-pattern at the start of the 16th
century, Vallauris is the mother city, rich with a
prestigious past evidenced by the Miséricorde chapel,
Notre Dame des Grâces and the ancient château
turned national Picasso museum, with its famous fresco
"War and Peace."
Vallauris is inseparable from its pottery, which spread
throughout the world with the arrival of Picasso and his
astonishing ceramic production.
Still today, we find artistic pottery in Vallauris, unique
pieces signed by great names like Capron or Jean
Marais, culinary pottery, as well as countless decorative
objects...

Méditerranea - International Festival of
Underwater Images and Adventure

festival for videographers or photographers, and it is
one of the most beautiful windows into the "silent
world.” A show that follows the city’s patrimonial
tradition, it welcomes the pioneers of scuba diving,
starting with the emblematic captain Cousteau. This
Antibian naval construction is where, at the start of
the 50s, the celebrated Calypso was born.

choices, choosing from film screenings, reports,
documentaries, symposiums featuring leading figures,
slideshows, photography and diverse stands
(booksellers, travel, diving, etc.)
