The Antibes Old Town is encircled by 16th-century ramparts, and made up of a maze of narrow alleyways and stone battlements commanding sweeping views over the Mediterranean Sea and snow-capped French Alps. Just across the marina, star-shaped Fort Carre offers a glimpse at the resort's "Old Regime" roots. James Bond buffs will recognise it as the villain's fortress from Sean Connery's Never Say Never Again. Picasso may have hailed from Spain, but it's no secret that he cradled a soft spot for Antibes. Today, 14th-century Chateau Grimaldi houses a world-class gallery showcasing his paintings, sketches, lithographs and ceramics. Want to immerse yourself in Cote d'Azur history?
