La Garoupe Lighthouse – hike & views

A beautiful natural site within the National Woodland of La Garoupe, and managed by the municipality of Antibes, the Garoupe lighthouse (one of the most powerful lighthouses of the      Riviera) stands at the top of a plateau separating Antibes from Juan les Pins. 

If you want to take a break from the beach and the busy streets of Antibes, climb the unpaved Chemin du Calvaire (on the right after the old harbor of the Salis beach). It takes about one hour to reach the summit by foot, where one of the most spectacular panoramas of the region awaits you! The view extends from Nice to Cannes and to the backcountry of Vence and Tourette sur Loup. Before going back, take a tour of the Garoupe Chapel.

Alternatively you can drive from Boulevard du Cap to the route du Phare.
