Juan-les-Pins

Juan-les-Pins is between Cannes and Antibes and almost an adjunct to Antibes. It's a bit like Tedder Avenue (but on another level altogether) where you sit with an espresso and watch the amazing cars and the world go by. We stopped there on our way to one of our visits to Nice. I particularly wanted a photo, to match one I already have of David near a Juan-les-Pins sign.

The Juan-les-Pins part is a seaside resort and night-life area of sandy beaches, boutiques, night clubs and casino. The two places are close together, a good walk or short drive over the hill of the narrow part of the peninsula, or a longer and lovely drive around the coastline of the Cap d'Antibes.

Plage de La Garoupe (La Garoupe Beach), on the Cap d'Antibes, used to be the favourite beach of Fitzgerald and Murphy. The Cap d'Antibes, marked by the lighthouse at the highest point, is a lush setting of some very large and very expensive estates, even by "French Riviera" standards. It also has the hotel of choice for some famous people, such as Madonna, who prefer to avoid the bright lights and bussel of the Croissette in Cannes during their short stays on the Côte d'Azur
