🇫🇷 Antibes: Diving into Monet’s Palette
Where the Mediterranean whispers in cobalt and silver—just as it did in 1888. 🌊🎨 🚂 Morning Escape from Nice 8:40 AM train: 20-min glide along the coast 🚞 (empty seats + sea views). Bus #2 (Fontaine stop): Use your French Riviera Pass 🚍. SPAR pitstop: Grab snacks 🥖 + sunscreen (UV is brutal! ☀️). 🌊 Coastal Hike Highlights Le Sentier du Littoral: Cliffside path with billionaire-yacht vistas ⛵. Secret detour: Ignore "closed" gates—find the open one 🚪 (worth the sneak!). Picnic alert: Spread a blanket at Bay of Billionaires 💰 (no billionaires required). 🎨 Afternoon Art Crawl Monet’s viewpoint: Same turquoise as his 1888 canvas 🖼️. Picasso Museum (€12): Cubist seagulls + rooftop panoramas. Marché Provençal: Swap olives for handmade ceramics by afternoon 🏺. ⚠️ Lessons Learned Sunscreen FAIL: "I became a lobster by sunset" 🦞. Bus blues: Hourly waits—download Uber just in case 📱. #Antibes #MonetInspired #FrenchRivieraHikes #ArtAndOcean
