EXCURSION

LOCAL EXCURSION (21 APRIL)

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.
