Hiking: The Cap d’Antibes tour

The trail is about 4.5 km long and takes about 1.5 hours to complete. It’s a great way to stretch your legs while getting some sea air.

Jabotte Tip: Bring your bathing suit, there are a few small coves along the way where you can take a little break for a swim!

Bike rides in the city and bike paths

Antibes has many bicycle paths and quiet roads ideal for bike rides. There are urban circuits to the Port Vauban and the old town, tracks along the beaches and also the Mediterranean by Bike route which connects Antibes to Villeneuve-Loubet over 6 km.
