The sister cities of Antibes and Juan Les Pins are directed by a single administration and share a population of approximately 70,000, making it the second largest city on the French Riviera. Antibes/ Juan Les Pins is situated between Nice and Cannes and is known for its sandy beaches, its jazz festival, its sport marina (the Mediteranean's largest) and, in general, because it's a major summer-time destination along France's famous Blue Coast and also close to Monte Carlo.

To the west, Juan Les Pins, with its beaches, jazz festivals and variety of other summertime festivities, spends three months each year as a vibrant summer destination before recuperating its typical quiet vibe.
