Get Ready for a Day Filled With Culture, History and Nature in Antibes
Some say Antibes is a museum on its own, but there are some spots you really don't want to miss out on. How does a visit to the Archeology Museum sound? And swimming in the Bay of Billionaires? Get ready for some activity and relaxation.
Pro-tip: go easy on the breakfast because the first stop includes something you want to have some space for.
