Circuit starting and finishing at the Maurettes beach car park in Villeneuve Loubet. This route has the advantage of leaving the seaside to travel the roads of the Villeneuve hinterland: Biot, Valbonne, Opio, Le Rouret, Roquefort les pins. A good part of it is on a cycle path. You can stop for a picnic in the park opposite the Coluche stele and have a coffee in Roquefort. Avoid visiting Valbonne on Friday morning, it's market day. It's crowded!

Fort Carré... is a historic military fortification located in Antibes. It is an iconic monument in the region, known for its star-shaped architecture and its strategic location offering panoramic views of the coast and the Mediterranean Sea. Here are some key facts about Fort Carré: * History: It was built in the mid-16th century by order of King Henry II of France. At that time, Antibes was an important border town with the County of Nice (then part of the Duchy of Savoy). The fort served to defend the city and monitor this border. It was later improved by the famous military engineer Vauban in the late 17th century. The fort remained a strategic site until the 19th century, when Nice was annexed to France and the border was extended. It was decommissioned from military use in 1860. * Architecture: The fort is characterized by its star-shaped shape with four bastions (called Bastion Nice, Bastion Corsica, Bastion Antibes, and Bastion France). Its patrol path rises 43 meters above sea level, offering a 360-degree view. * Protected Natural Site: Fort Carré is located on the Saint-Roch peninsula and is surrounded by a 4-hectare preserved natural area, classified as a Natura 2000 site and a ZNIEFF (Natural Zone of Ecological, Faunistic, and Floristic Interest). This site is owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral (Coastal Protection Agency). * Visits: The fort has been open to the public since 1998 and offers guided tours (strongly recommended, or even mandatory depending on the season) that allow visitors to explore the ramparts, towers, and barracks. Information on the fort's history and strategic importance is provided. Children's game booklets are also available. *Fun fact: Fort Carré served as the setting for the James Bond film "Never Say Never Again" (1983). In short, Fort Carré in Antibes is a fascinating historical site that offers insight into the region's military history, all in a magnificent natural setting with breathtaking views.
