Juan les Pins
Juan-les-Pins – a charming town known by summer jazz festival
Juan-les-Pins is a charming resort town that makes up one administrative unit of the city of Antibes and Cap d’Antibes.
Juan-les-Pins is situated in the beautiful bay of Golf-Juan, between the headlands of Cap d’Antibes and Croisette in Cannes.
Its long white sand beach stretches along the beautiful pine grove – one of the natural attractions of Juan-les-Pins.
The wild beauty of the sand beaches here was first appreciated in 1881 by the Duke Leopold, Prince of Albany – Queen Victoria’s son. But real life was brought to the town by American visitors in the 1920s.
They were the first to establish a beach culture here, and they brought with them the music that conquered America – jazz.
Everything one needs for a holiday can be found here – large beaches with white sand, a haven for yachts, boutiques that are open until 1 am, casinos, restaurants and lively night life.
But first and foremost, Juan-les-Pins remains a European jazz capital with the annual festival that has taken place here since 1959.

- The centre of Juan-les-Pins where everything is within walking distance (beaches, restaurants, shops, the train station), but it is difficult to find a property with a sea view because the landscape is quite flat here.
