Weekend Events for October 5th and 6th, 2024 in Antibes
Weekend Events in Antibes
In the Woods – Exhibition
Pauline Kalioujny is a Franco-Russian and Ukrainian painter, author, and illustrator. Through this exhibition, Anne Frank presents her fascinating world for both young and adult audiences.
Trained at the School of Decorative Arts in Paris, Pauline Kalioujny writes and illustrates books while also practicing engraving, drawing, and painting. In her books, she enjoys exploring the connections between words, images, and nature. She observes and draws animals of all kinds, developing a personal repertoire of shapes, colors, and symbols.
Among her most famous works are Un jardin en hiver, Promenons-nous dans les bois from Thierry Magnier editions, Mon beau sapin with Seuil Jeunesse, and more recently L’isba de la mouche with Manga.
Finistère Atlantique – from Concarneau to Antibes
The sixth event of 2024, produced by Ultim Sailing, “Finistère Atlantique,” will be, among other things, a preview of the Jules Verne Trophy. Departing from Concarneau on Saturday, September 28, most of the ocean giants will head south with their crews, following a route further south than usual. As the “classic” course of this race is typically an Atlantic loop, this year, the Ultim Sailing teams have been given an exciting project: to bring the Ultim ships into the Mediterranean, following in the footsteps of Ulysses.
Arrival in Antibes is expected on Thursday, October 15. Friday 4: The boats will be moored at Bastion Saint Jaume, with free access to the site/village. Saturday 5: The boats will participate in timed “races” between Port Vauban and Marina Baie des Anges. The boats will be visible from the ramparts and from the sea.
Beach Cleanup
For the past 5 years, Joa Casino has mobilized alongside the association “Together for the Protection of the Antibes Coastline” to protect our beautiful environment, and this year, your help is essential once again. It’s an opportunity for us to meet and show our commitment to preserving our coastline.
A welcome breakfast will be offered on the terrace of our lounge, and we will hold a briefing before starting.
Location: The meeting point is in the La Siesta lounge, Route du Bord de Mer, Antibes Access: via the left entrance “La Siesta Beach Club – Plage Lounge” Materials: If possible, bring gloves (gardening/DIY), empty bottles for cigarette butts, and closed shoes.

“CHATTERIES” (Cat Cuddles)
The Postcard Museum presents a temporary exhibition of antique postcards depicting cats. Domestic animals have often been used to illustrate postcards. Among the most frequent are cats. Photographers and illustrators have provided numerous images, from large cats sleeping on a comfortable cushion to kittens. These illustrations are found on postcards and wall calendars distributed by mail carriers. In both cases, these images remain on display for several months (especially for calendars). We must admit that these naturalistic scenes have a calming, even beneficial effect on the viewer. Outside of any religious or political ulterior motives, the presence of animals accompanying our daily lives is reassuring.

Sportivi!! Claude Serre
In 2018, the museum presented a comprehensive thematic retrospective that surprisingly excluded sports. It would be a shame to continue this omission. The Olympic year, 2024, corrects this injustice. Here is again this sarcastic, subversive genius, amusing, brilliant. Remaining, as sports love to cite records, the humorous cartoonist who has sold the most albums worldwide with his title “Black Humor and Men in White.” A gold medal, then. Coluche would have enjoyed it, undoubtedly throwing him a sharp and invigorating “Sportivi!!”

Cross-eyed views on the Cap d’Antibes
The Antibes Tourist Office is hosting an exhibition of photographic works from September 2nd to 27th, highlighting the works of two photographers: Véronique and Frédéric Laurès.
Véronique’s photographic approach invites us to discover the waves of Cap d’Antibes, true jewels and heritage. Her unique sensitivity permeates each of her works, making the invisible visible. Her gaze is a vibrant testimony to her communion with the element and an invitation to travel for the viewer.

Joan Miró. Masterpieces from the Nahmad Collection
The Picasso Museum offers a unique experience: presenting twelve masterful works by Joan Miró, from one of the world’s most important private collections, the Nahmad Collection. Miró feels at home here, as a guest in his friend’s house. The friendship that, since their first meeting in Paris in 1920, linked the two artists for life was also a ferment of their creative passion. The rooms host a single work, sometimes two. Contrary to traditional exhibitions that gather and associate, this is no longer about accumulation but about concentration and reception of the object in its singularity for contemplation and interpretation.
Note: From June 4 to 29, 2024 Installation of the summer exhibition and closure of the first floor. Discounted entrance with access to the second floor, ground floor, and terrace.

Without all the Ceremony
As a maritime and frontier city, Antibes has long had to defend itself, and much of its heritage is directly inherited from this context. The Saracen towers, the old Grimaldi castle, Fort Carré, the walls from Saint-Jaume bastion to Saint-André bastion, are markers in our urban planning of a violent reality, fear of assaults, looting, bombings, in a word, war. But what is war? Fort Carré’s programming this year offers perspectives, reflections on commitment, the duty of memory, and the traumas it generates: thematic visits, workshops, museum cafés for discussions, a cinema visit around Roberto Rossellini’s “Paisà,” and a theatrical walk in collaboration with the Antibes Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art.
