Adventure tips

Bring small change for market tastingsMany vendors accept cash only or prefer small notes for olives, cheeses and jams at Antibes’ market.

Wear sturdy shoesCobblestones and short steep sections in Saint-Paul-de-Vence can be slippery—closed-toe shoes with grip help.

Reserve museum time if neededIf you want to visit the Picasso or Maeght Foundation, plan that stop in advance—museum entry is not included.

Protect against sun and glareEven short walks along the marina can be bright; sunscreen and sunglasses will make the visit more comfortable.

Recommended gear

Comfortable walking shoes: Grippy, closed-toe shoes make walking on cobbles and short inclines comfortable.
Sunglasses & sunscreen: Sun protection is important on the exposed marina and village viewpoints.
Light daypack: A small pack for water, a jacket and market purchases keeps hands free.
Compact camera or phone with extra battery: The coastline and medieval streets offer strong photo opportunities—extra power helps.
