Antibes 10
Incredible town! Ensure you make a trip to Marineland Antibes for a real day out! Marineland is home to killer whales, dolphins, sea lion, penguins, polar bears and many more animals. Also, catch the train down to Cannes or over to Monaco. Relax on Cannes beach and do a spot of shopping, or take a guided tour around Monaco, going through the famous tunnel used in the Formula 1 racing.

Just love the culture and how beautiful it is :) The people are very nice and they speek a lot of English, the food is yummy and you just have to try the creps! They are to die for! The shopping is great but can be a tad on the exspensive side. You will be mad not to visit tho it is the best place i have ever been to and the attractions are the best :)
