Embark on a highly recommended small group private half-day shore excursion from Villefranche-sur-Mer Cruise Port to discover two of the French Riviera’s most iconic seaside towns: elegant Antibes and glamorous Juan-les-Pins.
Today, your English-speaking driver/guide will pick you up directly at your cruise ship in Villefranche-sur-Mer port of call. After outlining the itinerary and program of the day for this private half-day tour, board your premium air-conditioned vehicle and relax as you follow one of the Riviera’s most scenic coastal routes.
Enjoy a picturesque drive as you arrive in Antibes, a delightful old town of the French Riviera that is home to one of the most renowned Picasso collections. Sheltered behind medieval ramparts, Antibes combines historic charm with a lively, authentic atmosphere.
The town’s port lies below its fortifications and hosts a mix of brightly painted fishing boats and some of the world’s most impressive private yachts. Overlooked by the 16th‑century Fort Carré, once the last French stronghold before the Italian border, Port Vauban is now one of the largest marinas in the Mediterranean and includes the famous “Billionaires’ Quay,” where superyachts line up along the waterfront.
Follow your guide on a walking tour through the cobbled streets, past local boutiques and cafés, and enjoy some free time to soak up the ambiance, browse Provencal markets when open, or simply admire the sea views and ramparts.
Next, continue to Juan-les-Pins, located on the other side of the Cap d’Antibes peninsula. This chic seaside resort has been a favourite Riviera playground since the early 20th century, when it attracted artists and writers such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Picasso, and Charlie Chaplin.
Stroll along the seafront promenade lined with palm trees, fine sandy beaches, and elegant Belle Époque or Art Deco buildings. Depending on the time of year, you might feel the buzz of its famous jazz heritage, stylish beach clubs, and café terraces opening onto the Mediterranean. Your guide will point out key landmarks and suggest ideal spots for a coffee, a quick dip, or a photo stop.
After your visit of Juan-les-Pins, sit back and enjoy the views as you drive back along the Riviera coast. Your driver/guide will return you to Villefranche-sur-Mer Cruise Port in time for boarding, ending a relaxed and memorable introduction to the charm and glamour of Antibes and Juan-les-Pins.
