As you explore, your guide will highlight Provençal culinary traditions and regional favorites.
Fort Carré & Antibes Fortifications – Then, venture up to Fort Carré, a dramatic 16th-century star-shaped fortress. It stands proudly on a rocky promontory above the town. Once a key military post—and even watched over by Napoleon—it now offers sweeping panoramic views. From the top, you’ll see the harbor, the old town, and the glittering coastline. Surrounded by peaceful pine forests, this spot combines natural beauty with deep historical significance.
Picasso Museum – Afterward, visit the Picasso Museum in the medieval Château Grimaldi. This castle once hosted Picasso himself in 1946.
