o Exflora Park

The 5-hectare Exflora park is the expression of Mediterranean gardens. Planted with olive trees, palm trees and a labyrinth of shrubs, this bucolic setting is home to numerous exotic plants and water features in the extension of the fountains and ponds.

Nestled in the Mrs Beaumont lane, which leads to the creeks of the Cap d’Antibes, this lush green area surrounding the famous Villa Eilen Roc is open to the public every Wednesday afternoon.

A picnic by the sea

This is the great advantage of the geographical situation of La Jabotte: you are only 2 flip-flops away from the sea! In spring, the beaches and creeks are less crowded than during the summer period, and you can enjoy a picnic on the beach. And if by any chance you dream of having lunch on the grass in the spring, you can do so on our patio lawn…

Our favourite places to picnic :

o The creeks of La Garoupe

Take the “chemin de tire-poil” after the beach of La Garoupe and contemplate one of the most beautiful landscapes of Antibes. On this path along the coastline, which promises an idyllic walk, there are numerous spots where you can picnic under the sun with a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean and the Cap d’Antibes. Don’t forget your swimming costume for your first sunbathing session of the year!

o On the Salis beach

Just a stone’s throw from the hotel, the Salis beach is perfect for a Sunday family picnic! Forget your sandwiches and have a local picnic by biting into a famous pan bagnat, the one from Josy’s. One of the best in the region!

• Treat yourself to some Easter chocolates

It’s one of the times of year when you can bite into a square of chocolate without feeling guilty – Easter. In the old town of Antibes, one of the most popular pastry and chocolate shops of the moment bears the name of a pastry chef who has just been awarded the Michelin Guide 2022, Lilian Bonnefoi. In his Safranier pastry shop, with its Easter chocolates, a multitude of sweets await you, and in particular his Antiboise speciality: the VIP for very important pastry, a cake of puffed pancakes, topped with local raspberry confit…
