Cap d'Antibes, Coastal cape and peninsula on the French Riviera, France
The Cap d'Antibes extends into the Mediterranean Sea between the Baie des Anges and Baie des Milliardaires, featuring limestone cliffs and private beaches.
The development of Cap d'Antibes began in 1863 when Count de Fersen constructed a road around the peninsula, enabling access to this forested location.
The Villa Thuret maintains a botanical garden with numerous plant species, recognized as a Notable Garden and managed by the National Institute for Agricultural Research.
The coastal path Sentier de Tirepoil creates a 5-kilometer loop around the peninsula, requiring appropriate footwear for the rocky terrain.
The Villa Eilenroc, built in 1867, bears the reverse spelling of its first owner's wife's name, Cornelie, and now functions as a municipal museum.

The French Riviera between Monaco and Saint-Tropez features a diverse architectural heritage reflecting centuries of history. Visitors can explore medieval villages such as the historic center of Grasse, known as the perfume capital since the 16th century, or Saint-Paul-de-Vence, home to the Maeght Foundation and its modern art collection. The region also has Belle Époque buildings like the Negresco Hotel in Nice, along with 20th-century architectural creations such as the Palais Bulles in Théoule-sur-Mer. Mediterranean gardens are another attraction along this coastal area. The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat has nine themed gardens with vegetation suited to the local climate. The Bastide du Roy in Antibes preserves its geometric gardens and century-old olive trees. The coastline offers several vantage points overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, notably from the Le Corbusier Promenade connecting Cap Martin to Monaco over two miles, or from coves like Coco Beach where rocks and pebbles enable swimming and marine life observation.
