In Antibes after the heavy rains and walked out to the beach where Picasso, Hemingway and the Fitzgeralds swam.
With debris on the sands, and the clear air and snow on the alps over the water, it was cold and wonderful. No one else went out. Nothing like winter waters and history all to yourself.
This old block of apartments was once one of the few examples of an older more interesting building along Cannes’s waterfront. There seems little virtue in destroying interesting architecture, especially with original wrought-iron balcony railings, high ceilings, old shutters. But now it’s gone – while Antibes has kept its past.
Except for the Carlton, what historic buildings are left on Cannes’s waterfront? Why not remodel a site like this?
Well they have.
The developer’s sign says the new offering will provide a private treated heated pool for two penthouse apartments – just a hop, step and tiny jump away from the Mediterranean.
