In the mood for the seaside? Take a stroll down to Golfe-Juan and enjoy a sunny lunch on a terrace along the quays of the Vieux Port or the Port Camille Rayon.
Nestled between Cap d'Antibes and Cannes's Pointe Croisette, just a stone's throw from the Lérins islands, the bay of Golfe-Juan boasts a host of beautiful sandy beaches.
All kinds of water sports can be enjoyed here, and the exceptionally mild climate makes it a sought-after resort in all seasons.
Did you know that Golfe-Juan is the starting point of the famous Route Napoléon? Napoleon landed here on March 1, 1815, forever inscribing this humble fishing village in French history.
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR GENEROUS PARTNERS
