Solo travel experience

It’s a nice small beach town in south of France. Very delicious food and reasonable price. May is beautiful here. There are many people coming here for cheaper accommodation for Cannes film festival. It only 8 minuties TER ride to get to Cannes. But the hotel price is much cheaper.

Group travel experience

I did a little day trip with my friend to Antibes and we absolutely loved it! We’re currently staying in Nice, and Antibes is only 20 minutes away by train. Sooo worth going! Way more quiet that Nice and very picturesque, heard people playing the accordion for the first time too! The views from the coast are stunning and we even managed to go in for a swim! I’d say it’s a bit pricey but probably the same than around France in general. Felt safer than around Nice too. You MUST try the gelato at the Gelateria del Porto! €4 for a small but it’s very generous and delish!
