🇫🇷 Antibes & Nice in One Day: Brutally Honest Guide

⏰ Key Takeaways 1️⃣ French Time ≠ Your Time Shops open at 11AM, close by 7PM—sleep in! Photo hack: Arrive before 11AM for crowd-free shots. 2️⃣ Food Reality Check Breakfast: €3-14 for bread (KFC/McDonald’s FTW 🍔). Dinner: Overpriced + underwhelming (stick to supermarkets for water!). 3️⃣ Stay Smart Ibis near Nice station: 2-min walk = extra sleep + easy day trips. 🗓️ My Itinerary 🌆 Evening 1 Thai dinner fail (everything closed by 7PM). Supermarket haul: Big water bottles = budget saver! 🌞 Day 2 Provençal Market: Meh breakfast (€13). Antibes Highlights: Picasso Museum + stairs photo hack (zoom 2x, shoot from above!). Turquoise coast = the Riviera’s prettiest. Dinner regret: €45 for chewy steak + "mystery sandwich". 💡 1-Day Trip Plan AM: Antibes (market + museum + coastal pics). PM: Nice (Promenade des Anglais + Old Town). #NiceFrance #Antibes #TravelTruths
