Ah, the French Riviera… it has a certain “je ne sait quoi”… We love this part of France, and Antibes is one of our favorite towns. We’re anchored off Cannes, and can almost imagine we’re on our private yacht, just kicking back for a while. We tendered off early, but not too early. After all, we are in France!
Once ashore, we had a leisurely stroll through town to the station, and took the 12-minute ride to Antibes. Last time we were here, the Picasso museum was closed for renovation, but today was open and we had a very enjoyable time there. It’s in an old mansion, set on the hill in the old city, overlooking the sea. What a wonderful spot.
Opposite the museum is the art gallery where we bought out “gypsy” painting. Fortunately it was closed, despite the notice on the door saying it should have been open, so we probably saved a bundle! Maybe next time… Noticed the van parked nearby - don't you just love the signage???
We trotted back to Cannes for a late lunch, a spot of shopping, then the tender back to the ship for scones, jam and cream for afternoon tea. What a life…
Glad to hear everyone’s enjoying the blog, and the quotes – thanks for the comments and emails. Even JB is in on the act now, and keeping an ear out for suitable quotes. Believe me, with this lot on board, there’s no shortage!
