Day trip to Antibes

The beautiful, perfect days keep coming! The month of May in the south of France is absolutely gorgeous; I can't stop taking pictures of it! So although the subjects are the same (sky, sea, the occasional rock formation or two), here are some photos from my weekend jaunt to Antibes, a small town right next to Cannes.

Antibes is another town located on the southern coast of France. While not as glamorous as Cannes, there's a lot to
like about this place.

I've posted so many boat pictures... it almost seems like half of the population here must own one!


One of the fortresses that line the coast. Nowadays, this one has found new life as
a museum.


I also took the time to walk around the Old Town, with its small winding roads and
cobblestone streets. Many small vendors set up shop in open squares, and there was
a farmer's market as well.


Farmer's market cheese. So much cheese.


Beautiful asparagus, in season now!


Antibes is probably only about a 15-20 minute drive from Cannes. I had the option of taking the train (10 minute ride, 3 euros each way), or the bus (30 minute ride, 1.50 euro each way). It was very convenient, and made for a great little trip on a lovely Saturday.

One more picture of the sea!
