Hiring a campervan in Antibes means setting off halfway between Nice and Cannes, from a town that combines the ramparts of Old Antibes, Port Vauban and its superyachts, the pine grove of Juan-les-Pins and the wooded peninsula of Cap d'Antibes. Our partner company Anywhere Campers offers camper vans for two and family motorhomes with up to six berths.

From the A8 motorway junction, you can follow the Riviera to Menton, head up the Var valley to the red gorges of the Cians, or reach the glassblowers of Biot and the potters of Vallauris in a few minutes.

Road trip ideas

Road trips from Antibes

1 The Riviera and its corniches to Menton 2 to 3 days about 140 km
  1. Antibes
  2. Haut-de-Cagnes
  3. Villefranche-sur-Mer
  4. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
  5. Èze
  6. Roquebrune-Cap-Martin
  7. Menton
  8. La Turbie
  9. Antibes

After a stop in Haut-de-Cagnes, the Lower Corniche runs east to the harbour of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the gardens of the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Èze, perched on the Middle Corniche, and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin lead to Menton, its lemon trees and colourful old town, right by the Italian border. The return along the Grande Corniche and La Turbie offers the widest views of the coast. Parking is scarce in the villages: a camper van slips in more easily.

Distance
about 140 km
Recommended vehicle
Campervan or camper van
2 The Cians and Daluis gorges 3 days about 250 km
  1. Antibes
  2. Touët-sur-Var
  3. Cians gorges
  4. Beuil
  5. Valberg
  6. Guillaumes
  7. Daluis gorges
  8. Entrevaux
  9. Antibes

The Var valley leads to Touët-sur-Var, a village clinging to the cliff, then the road climbs the Cians gorges, carved into dark red schist, up to Beuil and the resort of Valberg. You come back down via Guillaumes through the Daluis gorges, nicknamed the Colorado of Nice, before reaching Entrevaux, its citadel and drawbridge. The gorge roads are narrow, cantilevered and sometimes cut through the rock: drive slowly and check your vehicle's height.

Distance
about 250 km
Recommended vehicle
Camper van or small low-profile motorhome
3 Biot, Valbonne and Vallauris, craft villages 1 to 2 days about 50 km
  1. Antibes
  2. Biot
  3. Valbonne
  4. Vallauris
  5. Golfe-Juan
  6. Antibes

A few kilometres from the centre, Biot keeps alive the art of bubble glass in its glassworks and is home to the Fernand Léger National Museum. Valbonne, a village laid out on a grid, comes alive around its Place des Arcades, on the edge of the pine forests of Sophia Antipolis. Vallauris, the potters' town, keeps the chapel where Picasso painted War and Peace, and Golfe-Juan, just below, the memory of Napoleon's landing in 1815. A short loop, ideal for a first day.

Weather and seasons

When to go in Antibes?

Best time

Spring and September

April to June, September
highs 18 to 26 °C, lows 10 to 19 °C

The best time to leave from Antibes: long days, mild temperatures for walking and mountain roads clear all the way to the Cians gorges and Valberg. In September, the beaches of Juan-les-Pins empty out, the days stay warm and campsites have room again once the holidaymakers have left.

High season

High summer

July to August
highs 29 to 30 °C, lows 21 to 22 °C

July and August bring heat, sunshine with hardly any rain and crowds: traffic jams on the seafront road, packed beaches in Juan-les-Pins and full campsites. In July, the Jazz à Juan festival livens up the Pinède Gould. Set off early in the morning and seek out the cooler villages of the hinterland above Nice for the nights.

October to December

October to December
highs 14 to 22 °C, lows 7 to 14 °C

The wettest months of the year in Antibes, especially October and November, with short but intense thundery downpours. Between two episodes, the late season stays mild and bright, traffic eases on the Riviera and the Picasso Museum, housed in the Château Grimaldi, can be visited in peace.

Winter

January to March

January to March
highs 13 to 16 °C, lows 5 to 8 °C

Winter in Antibes is mild and often sunny, but nights are cool and snow covers Valberg: in mountain municipalities, winter tyres or snow chains may be required. In February, the Menton Lemon Festival, at the far end of the Riviera, is worth a short trip on its own. Choose a heated vehicle and a campsite open all year round.

Practical tips

Everything to know before hitting the road

Getting to Anywhere Campers

Anywhere Campers hands over its vehicles in Antibes; the address and meeting time are in your confirmation. From Nice Côte d'Azur airport, regional trains and coaches reach Antibes station, which is also served by TGV high-speed trains. Allow some time for the vehicle handover and loading your luggage.

Cap d'Antibes on foot

The road around the cape is narrow and lined with villas, and a motorhome finds almost no space there in season. Leave the vehicle at the campsite and take the bus to Garoupe beach: from there the coastal path sets off, a rocky trail facing the Lérins Islands, which may be closed in rough weather.

Shopping at the Provençal market

The covered Provençal market on Cours Masséna, in the heart of Old Antibes, is the ideal place to fill the fridge with fruit, cheese and olives before you leave. The old town, between the ramparts and Port Vauban, is ill-suited to large vehicles: do this shopping on foot, before pick-up or from the campsite.

Rain and flood warnings

The Brague, a small coastal river flowing through Biot and the north of Antibes, caused deadly floods in October 2015. When Météo-France issues an orange or red rain-flood warning, avoid campsites and car parks in flood-prone areas, never cross a flooded road and follow the municipality's instructions.

What travellers ask

Your questions about a road trip in Antibes

Where can I pick up a campervan in Antibes?

In Antibes, vehicles are handed over by Anywhere Campers, our partner company in the town. To compare more models, widen your search to departures from Cannes, 9 km away as the crow flies, and above all from Nice, 18 km away, where other companies also offer camper vans, converted vans and motorhomes.

How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Antibes?

The rate varies with the departure date, the rental length and the size of the vehicle: a camper van for two and a six-berth family motorhome do not cost the same, and July and August remain the most sought-after months on the Riviera. Enter your dates in the search to see the actual current prices, mandatory fees included.

Which vehicle should I choose for the Riviera and the Cians gorges?

For a couple, the two-seat Van for 2 is easy to park in Èze or Villefranche-sur-Mer and gets through the gorges without difficulty. Families can choose between the four-berth Carado T-447, the five-berth Sunlight T 68 or Adria Matrix and the six-berth Sunlight A70, more comfortable on the motorway than on mountain roads.

Can I drive to Italy in a campervan hired in Antibes?

The Italian border is about an hour away on the A8 motorway, beyond Menton: Ventimiglia, with its big Friday market, and then the Riviera dei Fiori are easy to reach. Before leaving, check in the offer's conditions that Italy is covered by the insurance and whether a surcharge applies, and keep your identity documents on board.

Can I return the campervan in another city?

Our partner companies have other departure points on the coast and in Provence: Cannes, Nice, Sainte-Maxime, Brignoles, Toulon and Aix-en-Provence. A one-way trip, for example from Antibes to Toulon along the Var coast, is possible if the company accepts it: enter a different return city in the search to see the available offers and any fees.

The two service providers made me pay for the insurance for the car. And when I request a refund for one of them, I no longer get a response. I will travel by motorhome again, but certainly not with CoolDrive, nor with my friends.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Antibes

What licence do I need to drive a campervan hired in Antibes?

A category B licence allows you to drive camper vans and motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes, which covers most of the models offered in Antibes. A licence issued outside the European Union may require an International Driving Permit or an official translation. The minimum age and years of driving experience required by the company are stated in each offer's conditions.

Where can I sleep in a campervan around Antibes?

Several campsites line the La Brague district, north of Antibes, and the road to Biot, a few minutes from the beaches. Do not count on sleeping on the seafront in Antibes or Juan-les-Pins: overnight parking for motorhomes is prohibited or very restricted there. In the hinterland, villages such as Valberg have motorhome service areas.

Can you swim in the sea out of season?

Yes, for much of the year. The Mediterranean reaches 26 to 27 °C in July and August, stays at 24 °C in September and 21 °C in October, then drops to 18 °C in November and to around 14 to 16 °C in winter. The rocky coves of the cape and the sandy beaches of Juan-les-Pins are good for swimming from May to October.

Are the models available with automatic transmission?

Yes: the Van for 2, the Carado T-447, the Adria Matrix and the Sunlight A70 are offered with both manual and automatic gearboxes, and the Sunlight T 68 with an automatic. An automatic makes life easier in Riviera traffic jams and on the hairpin bends of the gorges; check the transmission shown on each offer before booking.

When should I book a campervan in Antibes?

Antibes has only one partner company, whose vehicles go quickly for July, August and school holidays: book several months ahead for the summer. Out of season, a few weeks are usually enough. If your date is fully booked, moving your departure by a day or two often frees up a vehicle.

About us

Why start a campervan trip from Antibes

Antibes sits at the centre of the French Riviera, with the A8 motorway at the edge of town. From here, three very different trips await: the Riviera and its corniches to Menton, the red gorges of the Cians and Daluis in the hinterland above Nice, and the craft villages of Biot, Valbonne and Vallauris, just a few minutes away. Not to mention the town itself, its ramparts facing the sea, Fort Carré and Cap d'Antibes.

Anywhere Campers offers anything from a camper van for two to a six-berth motorhome. Thanks to our partners' other departure points, from Sainte-Maxime to Aix-en-Provence, a one-way trip to the Var or Provence is possible. Pleasant from April to September and mild in winter, Antibes is a good place to start a campervan trip in any season.
