Administratively part of greater-Antibes, Juan-les-Pins nevertheless has a much different atmosphere than its neighbour. First of all, there's the wondrous stretch of sandy beach--a rarity on the French Riviera. Even though most of the beach is "managed" (i.e. you pay to stretch out on a lounge chair), the 3kms of soft sand bordering a protected cove is most welcome.

Then there's the nightlife! As soon as the weather turns mild, the streets of Juan-les-Pins are elbow-to-elbow at night as revelers weave from bar to cafe to restaurant to casino. Le Crystal bar-brasserie has been an institution since 1936 but nearby Pam-Pam also has its passionate devotees.

Without a doubt, the best time to visit Juan-les-Pins is during its prestigious Jazz Festival, Jazz a Juan, held each July. Keith Jarrett, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock are just some of the big names that have recently appeared on the stage set amid the parasol pines. Even if the music wasn't wonderful (which it is) the setting alone is unrivalled. More.
