"Snowy Peaks & Azure Seas: A Perfect Day in Antibes, France 🇫🇷

If you only visit one seaside town near Nice, let it be Antibes! While Èze dazzles and Menton charms, Antibes is the postcard-perfect South of France: 🏔️ Alpine peaks framing turquoise waters 🌊 The Riviera's most breathtaking coastal trail 🎨 Picasso's former studio (now a museum) 🖼️ Pastel sunsets that inspired Monet 📍 The Ultimate Antibes Day Trip 🚄 From Nice: Frequent trains (round-trip tickets valid all day; last return ~7:30pm winter) 🥾 The Lazy Hiker's Coastal Loop (7km full route, but we did this kid-friendly version): 1️⃣ Taxi to La Garoupe: Start at the iconic parking lot with dual mountain-sea views 📸 2️⃣ Walk 5min to Fontaine bus stop → trail entrance 3️⃣ First lookout: "Billionaires' Bay" - where yachts meet snowcaps 4️⃣ Meander past hidden coves to Le Sentier du Littoral → follow "Sortie" signs back to start 5️⃣ Taxi to Vieil Antibes: Lose yourself in lanes that captivated artists 🍽️ Local Tip: Rue James Close hides authentic seafood spots - we devoured paella beside German expats who call this "the Mediterranean's best-kept secret" 💌 Traveler's Epilogue: Some places remind you how wildly beautiful Earth can be. Antibes is one. #FrenchRiviera #HikeTheMed #ArtAndTravel #SlowTravel #AntibesGuide #NoFilterNeeded
