Britons keen on French Riviera property frequently turn to the town of Antibes, it has been stated.

Representative from the Antibes Juan-les-Pins tourist board Lucy Howard said the area is "very popular" with visitors and residents from the UK.

She added that it is good for property, noting: "You can find everything from luxury villas to small, modern flats. It’s a very multi-cultural community so people are very well accepted there."

Among the features she noted Antibes has to offer are a €1 bus service to Nice Airport, a museum dedicated to Pablo Picasso – who lived in the town in the 1940s – and the annual jazz festival in July, which will take place for the 50th time this year.

The Antibes Juan-les-Pins tourist board has listed Yachting as one of the main attractions of the town, which is situated between Cannes and Nice.
