AntibesAntibesGuide of the Alpes-MaritimesGuide of the Alpes-MaritimesTravel Guide > France > Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur > Alpes-Maritimes > AntibesBy the sea and surrounded by ramparts, old Antibes boasts numerous treasures: its Grimaldi castle home to the Picasso museum, its narrow streets and the small squares, its Peynet museum, its Provencal market, its cathedral decorated with a baroque facade, but also its crafts shops, its restaurants and cafés. Outside of the fortified old town are the Vauban port and the Carré fort, built in the 17th century by Vauban. At Marineland, the internationally-renowned marine-life theme park, you can see wonderful killer whale and dolphin shows. Truly impressive! Cap d'Antibes is a charming site with delightful wild creeks and pine forest. Between Valbonne and Antibes, the technology park of Sophia-Antipolis groups together numerous companies, French and International, specialized in IT, data processing, electronics, telecommunications, biotechnologies and health sciences. Research and education are also important activities in the park.
