ANTIBES
This famous resort destination, located between Nice and Cannes, is surrounded by fortified walls overlooking the sea. Visitors can stroll through the streets of the historic old town, then peruse the daily Marche Provencal. Shop for seasonal fresh produce, meats, seafood, olives and cheeses, and stick around for the craft market that features clothing, artwork and other handcrafted items. Antibes was also once home to Napoleon Bonaparte (he was imprisoned briefly here during the French Revolution at the star-shaped Fort Carré).
