La città di Antibes, dall’aspetto misto ligure-provenzale, si trova nel sud della Francia, sulla Costa Azzurra, tra Cannes e Nizza e fa parte del comune di Antibes Juan-les-Pins.
Deve il suo nome all’antico insediamento greco di Antipolis, importantissimo porto commerciale fino a tutto il medio evo.
Trasformatosi in tempi moderni in porto turistico denominato Port Vauban e considerato il piĂ¹ importante d’europa e il secondo del mondo, si colloca tra Fort CarrĂ©, fortezza del XVI secolo e uno dei massimi esempi di architettura militare europea che sorge sulle rovine dell’antico Tempio di Mercurio e i bastioni della cittĂ vecchia.
Ad Antibes c'è il Museo Picasso che si trova nel Castello Grimaldi (costruzione che risale al secolo XVI eretta sulle rovine dell'antica acropoli greco-romana) e contiene tutte le opere che Pablo Picasso eseguì durante il suo soggiorno ad Antibes, nel 1946. Fra le altre la notissima e acclamata Joie de vivre. Molti sono comunque i pittori, impressionisti e non, che negli ultimi centocinquanta anni hanno scelto di soggiornarvi per un certo tempo per ritrarre i suoi paesaggi e la sua luce incomparabile: ricordiamo Nicolas De StaĂ«l, che vi trovĂ² prematuramente la morte, Claude Monet e Paul Signac, Hans Hartung. La vita della città è molto animata e colorata in ogni periodo dell'anno, con i suoi mille ristorantini da tutti i prezzi, i negozi, i locali, le botteghe d'arte, i variopinti mercatini. Altri posti molto visitati sono il Museo Peynet dedicato al grande artista e il Museo Archeologico (Bastion St. AndrĂ©, costruito da SĂ©bastien Le Prestre de Vauban). Su Antibes Victor Hugo scrisse: "Tout ici rayonne, tout fleurit, tout chante" ovvero "Qui tutto splende, tutto fiorisce, tutto canta". In luglio nella Pinède Gould di Juan les Pins si svolge da piĂ¹ di 40 anni un famosissimo Festival del Jazz, manifestazione internazionale a cui hanno partecipato e partecipano i piĂ¹ prestigiosi nomi del jazz mondiale. Tra Antibes e Juan les Pins si estende il famoso promontorio di Cap d'Antibes dove Francis Scott Fitzgerald ambientĂ² parte del suo romanzo Tenera è la notte

Route Napoléon [D1085] | Gap 29/06/2015 16h30
The route was once flanked by many eagles. This is one of the few remaining copies along the historic route of the emperor. Such a shame that France hardly give this route attention apart from some hidden signs.
Roadtrip [8] 29/06/2015
On my birthday the plan was to drive the Route Napoleon from Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey to Grenoble. The planning was 320 kilometers and a 6 hour drive. We started late this day and we had to go back to Grasse to find a gas station. About one hour and 29 kilometers extra was the result. We followed the Route Napoléon (former N85) via Castellane, Digne les Bains (McLunch), Sisteron, Gap, the Col Bayard (+1248 m), Corps, La Mure, Prairie de la Rencontre and we ended up in the center of Grenoble at a Best Western hotel. The highest temperature we experienced near Digne (+34° C).
In total we have driven 329 kilometers, all driven by Stewart. We arrived at Grenoble at 19h30 which means the average speed was quite low today. Leaving at 10h36, arrived at 19h30 means an average speed of only 37 km/h. Including photostops, lunch, rest and gas. The visit to the city of Grenoble was postponed to the next day.

Here are some shots from our meal at la Cascade Restaurant in Antibes - yeah, all right, fish and chips isn't very French, is it!! We also chose chocolate mousse, which always makes me think of France, as I remember enjoying it in the restaurants in Paris! It was 15 euros for one course or 18 for two, so two courses was a no brainer!! JJ had juice d'orange to drink and we chose alcohol-free Heinekens!
