| | Antibes, France (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Spiritually, Antibes is totally divorced from Cap d'Antibes, which is a peninsula studded with the villas and pools of the super-rich. |
 | | Antibes was a Greek fortified town named Antipolis (possibly meaning "opposite the point of "Nice," across the Baie des Anges) in the 5th century BC, and later a Roman town, and always an active port for trading along the Mediterranean. |
 | | At the end of the 14th century, Antibes was on the Franco-Savoyard frontier, and in 1383, the Pope of Avignon "gave" Antibes to the Grimaldi family of Cagnes. |
