Fort Carre, Antibes

Since the time we wanted to go there is: it is not Monday there is not too much wind, we were able to enjoy a great visit by a guide who knows his work . For those who like old stones it is a treat this Fort-Carré is not a Vauban but it comes very close . Clean, well maintained, both inside and up to the gardens, a very correct rate, The guide had in her panoply of anecdotes many small stories concerning the fort its construction its occupation its evolution in time . The thing that surprised me the most is the way the passenger pigeons work, the ancestor of the SMS but I will not tell you here, just as I will not tell you why we call this fort, Fort-Carré. I leave a little bit of mystery to get you to go. We can also start the tour again when the tour is over and we discover new small corners, small openings, gates, lift bridges etc. In addition the square fort is accessible from the old town with the free shuttle do not hesitate

In fact, you have a beautiful view from the fort. The walk from the old town is also nice. The lacklustre French/English leadership, however, is hard to undercut! The main thing seemed to be that we were gone as soon as possible. What a pity!
