Picasso in Antibes, France<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Any layperson endowed with common sense would never combine antiquity and modernity into a single concept. But legendary artist Pablo Picasso<\/strong> would never have let such an obvious oxymoron stop him, and neither did the museum bearing his name in Antibes. Therefore, until May 20, any visitor of the French Riviera can swing by the renowned resort town and enjoy the exhibit \u201cUne moderne Antiquit\u00e9 : Picasso, de Chirico, L\u00e9ger et Picabia en pr\u00e9sence de l\u2019antique\u201d (A Modern Antiquity: Picasso, De Chirico, L\u00e9ger et Picabia in the presence of the ancient world)<\/strong>. At this exhibit, Greco-Roman sculptures and ceramics are confronted with 20th century\u2019s masterpieces, highlighting not only the inspiration that these four groundbreakers of modern art drew from the ancient times, but also how they managed to reinvent and modernize classical art, in particular during the productive period between the two World Wars.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re done marveling at these fascinating artistic endeavors, be sure to check out the other attractions Antibes has to offer. With four other museums in addition to the Picasso Museum, you\u2019ll be able to educate yourself on archeology, Napoleon, absinthe and local history.<\/strong> When you\u2019re done sniffing up culture, it\u2019s time to indulge in some leisurely downtime. You\u2019ll be glad to learn that Antibes has no fewer than 48 beaches<\/strong> for you to choose from along the 25 km of coastline to Juan les Pins. For bucolic reverie, the Exflora Park, the Eilenroc Gardens or the Thuret Park will provide the necessary greenery and quietness.<\/p>\n

Another priceless perk of Antibes is its convenient location between the two endlessly popular cities of Cannes and Nice<\/strong>. Those vibrant hubs are also where New York Habitat has plenty of fully furnished French Riviera vacation rentals<\/a> designed to fit every visitor\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

The closer of the two cities, Cannes can become your base by renting, for example, this 1-bedroom \u2013 Cannes Center \u2013 PR 339<\/a> with garden right downtown. A 10-minute walk from the Croisette, it is waiting for you in a hospitable residential neighborhood.<\/p>\n

For a bigger party, we have a large 3-bedroom villa \u2013 Cannes \u2013 PR 406<\/a> offering complete modern comfort inside, and a convivial terrace, pleasant garden and majestic pool right outside your door.<\/p>\n

If you decide on Nice \u2013 and who could blame you? \u2013 our hip studio \u2013 Nice Downtown \u2013 PR 1072<\/a> smartly maximizes its space, and you will not find yourself wanting for anything. Its prime location in the heart of the city will allow you to get around easily.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re bringing company, our 2-bedroom apartment \u2013 Nice Old Town \u2013 PR 1082<\/a> is perfect for you.
