I've been mapping out my last weekends and on Saturday I took the tgv two and half hours down the coast to a city nestled between Cannes and Nice known as Antibes.
It was a pretty big city with even bigger and better views of the sea, which I can't seem to get enough of. The weather warmed up a bit and the sun made a rare appearance making for a beautiful day.
The city center was full of short, winding alleyways and my beloved cobblestone streets. It's also the first place I've ever been to where you can see people lying on the beach to the left and snow covered mountain tops to the right.
Antibes is home to the Picasso Museum and since I'm never opposed to a bit of cultural enrichment and art appreciation, I spent about an hour looking at some of his collection from the time he spent living there. The rooftop terrace of his former home and studio also gave the best view of the old city and the Mediterranean.
I don't think I'll have time to make another trip to the sea, but it was a lovely and leisurely day! The next few weekends I'll be on the go and I'm truly looking forward to it. For me, it's Strasbourg, Rome, and London...the perfect conclusion to this season in my life.
But back to Antibes...
