Monet's Blue Southern French Town

🇷Antibes | Monet's Southern French Dream ✨Life is full of wonderful encounters! A few days ago, I was daydreaming in front of Monet's pastel blue summer Antibes at the Courtauld Gallery in London, and today I set foot on this dreamy land of Southern France with that same excitement~ 🏖️This town embraced by the Mediterranean is simply amazing! Right outside the train station is the yacht marina, with white sails sparkling under the sun, azure waters, and snow-capped mountains faintly visible in the distance🏔️—instantly healing! 🌊Compared to Menton's sweet warmth, Antibes feels like it has a cool filter. In the blue tones blending sea and sky, even your breath becomes gentle. You can totally do nothing here but daydream for an entire afternoon~ 🎨A must-see for art lovers: In 1888, Monet wrote while creating here: "Antibes sparkles under the sun, framed by blue and pink mountains and the eternally white Alps, so beautiful it feels unreal"✨ 🦞Picasso also spent a romantic six months here at age 60 with his lover! His adorable marine-themed works (like the lobster waving its claws and the dancing starfish) were born here~ 📝Practical Guide: 🚄Transportation: Buy ticket at Nice Ville station → Antibes station (30 min) ⏳Many trains but no car numbers 💡Tip: Just match the departure times on Google Maps! 📍Recommended Routes: 👉Casual Stroll (2-hour highlights): Antibes Train Station → Le Nomade landmark sculpture (you'll see lots of luxury yachts⛵️ on the way) → Picasso Museum (stunning coastline all along) → Plage du Ponteil (Monet’s favorite photo spot) → Wander the Old Town 👉Deep Hiking Tour (4-hour loop): There are many guides on Xiaohongshu, but personally, I think a casual stroll captures the Southern French vibe better~ 🥂Food Spots: 🦪La Pescheria 💰12€ set: 6 oysters + 1 glass of white wine 📍Location: Inside the Old Town Provence Market 💡After eating, turn left and walk 2 minutes to the seaside! ☕️Copenhagen Coffee Lab Right next to the restaurant, grab a coffee and start your seaside stroll~ 💙All year round, Antibes blue never fades
