Old Antibes is a quaint mix of boutiques and restaurants planted charmingly on ancient squares and alleyways within sturdy city walls. The Cathédrale d'Antibes , built on the site of an ancient Greek temple, has an ochre neoclassical facade; its tall, square Romanesque bell tower dates from the 12th century. The Marché Provençal is morningtime's hot date, and views from the sea walls of urban Nice (spot the airport runway) and snowy alpine peaks beyond are superb.
