Juan-les-Pins has its own train station, so you don’t necessarily need a car (however there is parking provided) and you can catch one of the double-decker trains from here to the famous neighbouring towns of Antibes or Cannes – or why not take a train journey along the dramatic Cote d’Azur coastline?
- Sightseeing is endless; places nearby worth a visit are the charming old-town of Antibes and its port; the hill-top village of Mougins with its art galleries and restaurants; the monastery on the Iles de Lerins; the designer shops on the Croisette in Cannes; the historical old town of Nice; the restaurants and yachts in the port of Nice; the animals & plants at Parc Phoenix, Nice.
- Other entertainment includes shopping, the casinos & nightlife of Cannes, boat trips, cinema, wine tasting, helicopter rides, Marineland & Aquasplash at Antibes or just good old relaxing on the beach!
