Early morning again - on the bus by 8:30 am for our two hour drive to Antibes along the coast. The nice part was I slept most of the way there. :) We were dropped off by the pier and walked to the market to check things out. It was much larger (and more expensive) than the last market we were at. Everything from fruit and veggies to meats and cheese all under one large pavilion.
Following the market, we walked the ramparts. Absolutely beautiful views of the sea from this part of the city.
In exploring the rest of the city - we stumbled upon this unique monument. It was titled "1940-1945 Antibes a la Resistance et ses Martyrs" What was different about this monument from others I had seen was the look as if the figure was carrying a heavy load on his shoulders. Was he weary with the weight of sorrow or was it something else?
With our limited time in Antibes, we saw what was left of a Roman cistern we had missed on the rampart and caught some lunch before boarding the bus at 12:30 to take us to our next destination - Cannes and the Isle of Saint Honorat.
