Cap d'Antibes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
Nested between Cannes and Nice, the Cap d'Antibes is a peaceful peninsula at the heart of Antibes, France. Maritime pines perfume the salty air, the coves harbour solitude and the coastal paths are silent except for the waves.
On these shores of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, the late season invites a different way of travelling. Swimming is prolonged for the bravest, while walks at dawn offer panoramas of striking clarity, as the snow-capped Alps loom in the distance. You might occasionally encounter the flight of a cormorant, the shimmer of a school of mullet in the turquoise water or the silhouette of a solitary sailboat.
Enjoying Cap d'Antibes in this season means rediscovering the Mediterranean beneath a veil of tranquillity. A discreet luxury, reserved for those who know how to listen to the passing of this season, between the warmth of summer past and the promise of winter to come.
