The Cap d'Antibes coastal path

What a delight it is to find a spot of greenery that smells of pinewoods on the shores of the Mediterranean! This unspoilt area in the south-east of Antibes offers a unique setting.

🥾 The path is also known as the "Tirepoil " path . This atypical name refers to the wind, which can be quite sensitive. This part of the coast is exposed and open to the sea. For almost 5 kilometres, the natural sc enery is breathtaking, giving you a unique view of this corner of the Côte d'Azur.

🌊 The deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea in the foreground and the white of the Mercantour mountains in the background (in winter).

The tour is organised as a loop starting from the pointe de la Garoupe, alternating your walk with the rocky seafront and the opulent villas buried under pine trees, palm trees and other exotic plants... The icing on the cake is that some of the little coves are even suitable for swimming!

During your walk, stop off at Villa Eilenroc. This remarkable residence was built in 1867 by a Dutchman who loved the region, and is open to visitors every Wednesday and Saturday from 10am to 4pm. There is an entrance fee, and visitors can also explore the exotic garden surrounding the building.

To discover Cap d'Antibes from another angle, you can also hire a boat, with or without a skipper: you'll be able to enjoy the pleasures of the sea while taking in an incredible panorama!

Finally, if you suddenly feel like splurging in this upmarket area, book a night at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, the Palace of the stars! If the room rates are too high, at least try and have a drink in the hotel bar!

⭐ The 4* Hotel Beau Site is located on Boulevard J.F. Kennedy, not far from Anse de l'Argent faux. Antibes city centre is 5 kilometres from the establishment. Each room is individually decorated. In addition, they are air-conditioned and soundproofed to offer you a real rest. Some even offer a partial view of the sea or the mountains... The beautiful swimming pool completes the facilities of this charming hotel.

A buffet breakfast is served every morning (room service on request). There is also a cosy bar. Private outdoor parking is available for guests. You can also rent a bicycle to discover Cap d'Antibes at a more leisurely pace.
