Antibes...or Miami Beach on the Mediterranean

Antibes, a city on the sea, was gray and wet with drizzle.  Miami Beach atmosphere and a touristy flair, the city was no small old-world coastal town.  We traveled there to experience the Corsican Culture weekend, “an event with all the warmth of an island festival that features various aspects of life in Corsica. There are shows, lectures and more than 40 stands with painting, sculpture, olive wood products, coral, jewelry, fabric, salami, wine, cheese, cooked items, honey, biscuits and different organizations.” However, the Corsican Culture Weekend Festival had actually occurred in prior years, and the Antibes website had yet to be updated.


After traveling to the empty culture hall, we took a walk along the beach, grabbed a to-go cappuccino, and decided to travel onward to the land of Princess Grace Kelly Grimaldi, Monaco and Monte Carlo.
