The old town of Antibes and its ramparts benefit from a privileged location near the Natura 2000 site of Cap d'Antibes and the sandy beaches of Juan-les-Pins. Attentive to preserving its heritage but firmly turned towards the future, the city succeeds in reconciling patrimony, environment, tourism, trade, sports, and new technologies. Antibes exerts a leading role within the 23 municipalities of the Sophia-Antipolis conurbation and attracts more than a million visitors each year.
