City of Cote d'Azur - Cap d'Antibes - historically one of the most prestigious and expensive places in France
Cap d'Antibes, a picturesque promontory between Antibes and Jean-le-Pin, like Cap Ferrat, enjoys great attraction among the powerful of this world.

Cap d'Antibes is one of the most prestigious and expensive places not only on the Cote d'Azur, but also in all of France. Cap d'Antibes, as well as Cap Ferrat, is associated with the names of stars and millionaires.

How did everything start?
In 1865, the famous botanist Gustave Ture discovered a wonderful cape, bought a plot of land here and began experiments on the acclimatization of tropical plants.

Thanks to him, Australian eucalyptus and many types of palm trees appeared on the Cote d'Azur. And in the lush greenery of the park, noble and wealthy Europeans began to build luxurious castles and villas.

This is how Charles Garnier, the architect of the Paris Opera and Casino in Monte Carlo, built the Eilenrock Villa. Then there were Croix Castle, Villa "Green Oaks", Castle Garup, Villa "One Rock" and Villa "Sun", which later formed one of the most beautiful hotels in the world - Hôtel du Cap.

Myths about the "unsafeness" of living on Cap d'Antibes
As for the safety of living in a villa on Cap d'Antibes, there is a widespread opinion among Russian-speaking clients that there is a lot of theft here. Other foreigners and French have been coming here for years and feel at ease.

The point is that during the tourist peak (July-August), as well as during iconic events on the Cote d'Azur (Cannes Film Festival, Formula 1, etc.), when many wealthy clients come here, the activity of thieves increases (in due to the blurred borders of the Schengen zone).

During this period, the tenants of the villa in Cap d'Antibes must observe basic safety rules: close the shutters on the windows at night and set the house on the alarm system, during the day, during the long absence, also close the house and the windows.

Just be careful, and then your stay in the house at Cap d'Antibes will be no more dangerous than in any other place on the Cote d'Azur."
