Antibes

I'm going to Antibes on the Cote D'Azur in the Spring, and just wondering if anyone has recommendations for things to do/see....good beaches, restaurants, bars, that kind of thing?

Thanks in advance.

Took a holiday in the south of France few yrs ago and stayed in Antibes for a night. Sorry can't remember the name of the restaurant we ate at, but if you follow the tall wall opposite the marina, there was an archway (stalls outside it selling bric a brac and artwork) which led to a pedestrianised street full of shops, pubs and restaurants, about half way up on the right there was a restaurant that served fantastic sea bass.

With regards to what to do, there is a great train service along the coast, definatley get the train to Monaco. Visit Cannes and Nice. If you go to a place called Saint Raphael, a few streets back from the main one (along the beach), there was a fantastic little restaurant called The Bishop.

Sorry I can't give you more details but it was a few yrs ago that I went there, but would love to go back to that area of France again. Have a great time.

Tip- we noticed in places like Cannes, along the main street runnuing parallel to the beach if you go for a drink you wiill pay more if you sit outside the bar, than if you sat inside!

Head out to the Cap and have a walk about out there. That's where all the rich people stay and its beautiful. Also there is really nice restaurant at one side right on beach.
