Rising from the highest point of Cap d'Antibes, the Garoupe Lighthouse has guided mariners since its construction in the 19th century. Visitors can climb to the top for a breathtaking 360-degree panorama that stretches from the Alps to the Mediterranean, taking in Cannes, Nice, and the Lerins Islands. The surrounding park, with its pine trees and wildflowers, is a peaceful spot for a picnic or a moment of reflection. The lighthouse itself, painted white with a red lantern room, is a classic postcard image of the Riviera. Inside, a small museum tells the story of the lighthouse's history and the region's maritime heritage. On clear days, the visibility is extraordinary, making it a favorite for photographers and romantics alike. The site is also a popular starting point for coastal walks along the Cap d'Antibes peninsula.
