Favorite Thing: Definitely to Port Vaubain to see and wonder the yachts and the marine life.
Also to Old Antibes - and definitely have a lunch in this wonderful place.
Go around, sit for a while, watch these wealthy people pass by, their lifestyle. Many seem to have a very small dog as a pet here.
Fondest Memory: What I really miss from Antibes is the sun and blue sky as well as the nice hot -but not too hot- weather. I also liked a lot the local food - it is delicious as in everywhere in the French Riviera.
What I especially miss is just being there, stopping somewhere, walk a little bit, enjoying the rich people's athmosphere. It is like to be a part of it for a while. I enjoyed just watching and being amazed of the yachts that could be 30-40 m long and high like a house. To me some of them looked and seemed to be as big as our catamarans that cruise from Helsinki/Finland to Tallinn/Estonia!
People. Here we met the nicest people of the whole trip: we had our lunch in the old town of Antibes, outside in the shadow. Next to us sat a couple, propably 20 years older than us. We started to talk, (I wondered where did my school French come from...), and had a good time together. Finally the gentleman wanted to offer us our coffees. Very kind of him.
They said that they were still living in Paris but just bought a house from Juan Les Pins-Antibes area for the weather and athmosphere. I don't wonder their decision...
