Baie des Anges, from Nice to Antibes

Made famous by films and songs, the Bay of Angels stretches from Nice to Antibes. Legends about the origin of the name add to the charm of this site. Is it linked to a fish, to the relics of Saint Réparate, or to a 19th-century poem by Alexis de Jussieu? Stroll around and enjoy the scenery. With the mountains in the background and the Mediterranean before you, it is a splendid sight. In Nice, the beach with the same name is huge and welcomes bathers to its turquoise water.

To understand the breadth of the Bay of Angels, visit the whole coast via Villeneuve-Loubet, Cagnes-sur-Mer, Saint-Laurent-du-Var, and other picturesque towns. It’s an enchanting part of the French Riveria with many three- and four-star campsites, some with pools, for a holiday that matches up to the surroundings. Water activities abound for fun with friends and family.
