The incomparable charm of the Antibes has conquered many hearts, from Nicolas de Stael to Picasso, Sydney Bechet to Miles Davis. There are quarters with fishermen, boat docks and Provençal market squares from which rise the accents of Jazz. Around its environments, near the villages of Biot, Valbonne and Villeneuve-Loubet, nature reigns: large natural parks, beautiful golf courses, waterways... The surrounding villages are models of lifestyle with creative arts, and the architectural charms of Biot and Valbonne. Nearby is the "Silicon Valley" of the Riviera: Sophia-Antipolis.
