Vieil Antibes is the historic heart of Antibes, a maze of narrow, winding cobblestone streets lined with pastel-colored buildings, boutiques, and cafes. The area is centered around the Cours Masséna, where a daily market sells fresh produce, flowers, and local specialties. Visitors can explore the ramparts for sea views, discover hidden squares like Place Nationale with its arcades, and visit the 12th-century Cathedral of Notre-Dame de la Platea. The neighborhood exudes a timeless charm, with laundry fluttering from windows and the scent of lavender and baking bread. It's a perfect place to wander aimlessly, stopping for a coffee or a glass of rosé.
