to Antibes through Riviera


The next destination of the trip was Riviera and Antibes which is close to Nice. The first night, I spent in Sette. It is about 100km from the Spanish border. The village has two faces. Firstly, it is an old fishermens` village. It has several canals like Venice but full of fishing boats. By those canals, you can find number of nice and good fish restaurants. Second face of the village is the beaches. Village has over 10 km long dunes and beaches around it.





Next day, I continued to Antibes. I drove through the whole Riviera. Roads are very grouded and the speed was very low. But if you a motorbike, no broblems. After Marseille, I had a lunch in Cassis. You must go there. It is the best place in Riviera. But I have to say that it is not a good place for the party people.

In Antibes, we met several friends having a pic nic on the beach. It is typical way to meet friends for local people. Antibes offers you plenty of different activities from lovely beaches to historical fortresses and French Mediterrain cusine. Locals say that Antibes is the most important city in Riviera. I agree with them. Antibes also has one of the oldest still operating light houses in the region.
