Road access to rue de la Tourraque can be restricted at certain times of the day during the summer. See local signs for more information. The road can be pedestrian only in the height of summer to encourage a more relaxed town feel. (NB Please note that currently Antibes' pedestrian roads come into effect at 15.30 on Fri/Sat/Sun and holidays, and bollards come up, so your taxi might need to drop you off/collect you at the top of the road, a 2-3 min walk, which is very straightforward and downhill!)
