Aqua~Media International Ltd is the publisher of The International Journal on Hydropower and Dams, and the organizer of the HYDRO, ASIA and AFRICA event series.
We would not want international guests to visit the French Riviera without a chance to absorb something of the region’s history, culture, landscape and cuisine. Therefore a trip is planned for all participants on the day of registration.
For participants arriving prior to Sunday 21 April or early that day, a local excursion is being arranged to provide an opportunity to experience some of the stunning landscape of the French Riviera, take a leisurely lunch together, and then visit some places of interest. The trip will last about four hours, departing mid-morning, and returning mid-afternoon to Juan-les-Pins.
The morning will comprise a drive around the Cap d’Antibes, passing the Hotel Belles Rives (former home of Francis Scott Fitzgerald), and the Villa Mitoyenne which belonged to Frank J Gould. The trip will continue past the Garoupe lighthouse, from where there is a spectacular view, before arriving in Antibes.
Following a guided tour of old Antibes, including the historic harbour and city ramparts and the Nomade statue by Jaume Plensa, the group will stop for lunch. There will then be a visit to the world-famous Picasso Museum, before the return to Juans-les-Pins in the afternoon.
