Cap tour and old Antibes

Back in 1863, Antibes sailors formalized pilgrimages to La Garoupe chapel, leaving ex‑votos after squalls off the Golfe Juan; the 75 m hill, crowned by a lighthouse first lit in 1837, still structures the cape’s skyline. Eastward, the Tire‑Poil coastal path, set in the 19th century, skims wave‑splashed limestone points; to the west, Vauban’s reworked ramparts frame the old town. Tucked behind hedges, Villa Eilenroc’s park—acquired by the city in 1982—harbors a labeled collection of heritage roses that often bloom from April.

Your driver collects you at the hotel in a quiet Mercedes and keeps the day moving: it’s a 15‑minute hop from La Garoupe to the ramparts, with walking where it counts. You browse and taste while the driving, parking, and timing are handled. In Antibes, the route stays flexible—sample socca at Cours Masséna market, step into the Picasso Museum inside the Grimaldi bastion, then swing by Eilenroc if the rose garden is in bloom. Allow about four hours with the vehicle on standby and the pace set by you.
