The Picasso Museum - Château GrimaldiIn 1946, at the proposal of the prestigious Château Grimaldi’s custodian, Pablo Picasso accepted the offer to set up his studio in one of the castle’s rooms. He painted there for six months, leaving the museum with almost all of his creations during that time. This gave rise to the first museum dedicated to the artist in his lifetime, with the only condition being that none of the works were ever to leave the premises. One of the rooms in the Château Grimaldi is dedicated to Nicolas de Staël. Numerous contemporary works from Léger, Atlan, Magnelli, Ernst, Picabia, Modigliani, Pagès and Hans Hartung were added to enhance the museum’s collection.

The Archaeology MuseumA guardian of vestiges from Ancient Antipolis, the Saint-André Bastion, built according to Vauban’s plan at the end of the XVIIth century, is the seat of the Archaeology Museum that houses collections that have been enriched following excavations in the town and along its sea bed. An entire prestigious past resurrected. Ceramics, amphora, mosaics, coins and objects of everyday life bear witness to the extraordinary prosperity of the powerful Roman «Civitas Antipolitana».

The Peynet and Cartoon Museum Dedicated to Raymond Peynet, the famous creator of Lovers who lived in Antibes for a long time, the museum offers an escape amongst his works. Starting in 1995, the artist allowed the museum to be opened up to other artists, regularly receiving the travelling exhibitions of prestigious signatures including Daumier, Plantu, Dubout, Blachon, Moisan, Faizant, Ricord, Mordillo, Piem and Kristian, amongst others.

Fort CarréLocated on the Saint-Roch Peninsula, Fort Carré is built on a rock rising 26 meters above sea level. It offers a 43 meters round path and offers a 360-degree view.

This remarkable architectural ensemble, which was significantly

improved by Vauban, served for a long time as a sentinel for the nearby frontier with the then hostile County of Nice, as well as a defence post for Antibes, the last French port before reaching this border. The Fort is surrounded by a 4-hectare protected nature reserve containing typically Mediterranean flora and fauna.
