Antibes is Gorgeous... But That Hike? Skip It. 😅
Visited Antibes on a Monday like a fool—of course the Picasso Museum was closed. The sea? Stunning. The old town? Charming but crowded (so much for that "hidden gem" fantasy). 🚶♀️ The Hiking Debacle: Inspired by enthusiastic小红书guides, I attempted the "2-hour coastal loop" (simplified version). Made it 1 hour in before calling an Uber. The views? Pretty but not mind-blowing. After 5km of struggle, reaching Cap d'Antibes left me wheezing: "This is it?!" 💡 Reality Check: If you’re: ✔️ Not an avid hiker ✔️ Wearing cute (but impractical) shoes ✔️ Here to relax, not train for Everest —Save yourself. Antibes shines brightest when you: • Sip rosé by the port 🍷 • Hunt for Provençal ceramics 🏺 • People-watch at Marché Provençal 🥖 🌊 Silver Lining: The Bay of Billionaires is dreamy—just take Bus #2 there instead of torturing your calves. #AntibesRealityCheck #LazyTravelerGuide #SouthOfFranceWithoutTheStruggle #SkipTheHike #CapDAntibesOverrated #NiceButNot
