Antibes

Smuggler Antibes is a resort town in southeastern France, on the Mediterranean Sea, in the Côte d'Azur. Located between Cannes and Nice, it is 20 km southwest of Nice, and situated on the east side of the Garoupe peninsula.
It was formerly fortified, but all the ramparts were demolished in the 1860s, except for the ones of  Fort Carré, and the ones along the sea coast.
Antibes has one of the largest yacht marinas on the Côte d'Azur, and it used to be a site of perfume distilling and the urrounding country once produced an abundance of flowers. Now, that distillation is carried out in nearby Grasse.
