Driving on the twisting routes of Cap d'Antibes feels like living a road movie. Every bend brings a surprise: a glimpse of an infinity pool, a neo-gothic façade, a plunging view, a helicopter taking off.

The cape, which hangs like an anchor in the Mediterranean between Antibes and Cannes, is one of the most exclusive addresses on the Côte d'Azur. Property prices have doubled and even tripled since 2000.
