Antibes Juan Les Pins, a harmonious blend of traditions and modernity.
The apartment is very close to the Castle of Juan Les Pins and a pretty park. In 1888, Claude Monet traveled to Antibes Juan Les Pins, met Maupassant, whom he already knew, and settled for a time at the Château de Juan Les Pins. He wants to paint the dewy light of the landscape, but he is stopped in his tracks by the vagaries of the weather which prevent him from finishing a canvas begun.
The great history of jazz begins in July 1960. It is in Antibes that Sydney Bechet composes some of her famous melodies, like "Little flower", "onions", "In the streets of Antibes". Ray Charles and Miles Davis made their European debut in the Gould pine forest. (Alley of footprints.)
If you want to enjoy the pleasures of the beach, the apartment is very close to the sea and will meet all your expectations. Dolce idleness or active holidays (paddle, etc.)
At the end of the 19th century, Juan Les Pins was nothing but a pine forest and beautiful sandy beaches, which later saw the birth of water skiing.
Its development began at the beginning of the XXth century, the beginning of the Roaring Twenties or the frenzy of living around 1930, with Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald. They were staying at the Hotel Belles-Rives which has kept the furniture from those years. At that time, it was rather winter tourism coveted by a few wealthy families anxious to flee the cold weather. Mr. Franck Jay Gould wants to invest in France, he settles in Juan Les Pins and arranges the pine forest, building in 1926 the Hotel Le Provençal (290 rooms) built in an art deco style, one of the great palaces of the Côte d 'Azure.
He created the first summer casino and also invested in gastronomy. He died in Juan Les Pins.

Cap d'Antibes:
Around 1880, Mr. André Sella will buy, modernize little by little the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc and develop this little Paradise on 9Ha. One of the most beautiful palaces in the world, an elegant establishment, which housed artists and writers, then the great European aristocracy, and currently all the celebrities of the Seventh Art, particularly at the time of the Cannes Festival.
Sumptuous residences, vast parks, pines, eucalyptus, various species of palm trees, cypresses, magnolias, olive trees ... and depending on the season, mimosas, roses, buttercups, jasmine, pythos, laurels ... bloom in turn in gardens, trails ...

I will end with the last part of a poem:
.... If eighty days ... of travel,
take you to our land,
Stop, Pécaïre,
Jules Verne did it right!
Come and take a walk under the hackberries
And drink the pastis, at the port, under the shade
In Antibes, time lingers better than elsewhere,
Music and poetry, here, are in the spotlight
And we will treat you with very small onions,
It will be necessary to return so much it is good there!
Come on, come see us. No one is disappointed!
I'm talking to you about those who have already come ..
So welcome!
(Antibes; secrets under the pebbles.)
Excellent stay in Antibes- Juan Les Pins.
