Weekend Events in Antibes
Art Exhibitions – Alexandre Simonin Gallery
Guillaume Cavalier’s work oscillates between two worlds: that of matter and that of spirit. A figurative narrative emerges in his pictorial compositions, where order sometimes coexists with chaos.
His generous palette and the grace of his lines play with the eye of those who dare to observe. A part of his work reflects a civilization in turmoil. Another part seeks to make a sensitive and singular universe intelligible.

The Alphabet of Patrick Moya
The Abécédaire of Moya is the universe of Moya expressed in 26 letters, featuring his “Land of Moya” in a playful and mischievous form.
After a first Abécédaire created in 2003 as part of the fight against illiteracy, which toured all the French Alliances in Italy and was sold in Korea, a new Abécédaire was born in 2007.
Presented for the first time on the Foster wall of the Carré d’art in Nîmes, it became the subject of a small book that now accompanies it: each letter corresponds to 26 short texts, each one a light to tell the journey of an artist who refuses to be confined.
“Colorful Decorations of Roman Antibes”
With the exhibition “Colorful Decorations of Roman Antibes,” the Archaeological Museum offers a new presentation of its collection starting from October 20th, to explore the refinements of Roman domestic architecture.
Without Ceremony
As a maritime and border town, Antibes has long needed to defend itself, and much of its heritage is directly inherited from this context. The Saracen towers, the old Grimaldi castle, Fort Carré, the Saint-Jaume bastion walls up to the Saint-André bastion, are all markers of our urban planning shaped by a violent reality—fear of attacks, looting, bombings, in a word: war.
But what is war? The programming of Fort Carré this year offers perspectives, reflections on commitment, the duty of memory, and the traumas it generates: themed tours, workshops, museum cafés to discuss, a film-tour around Roberto Rossellini’s Paisà, and a theatrical walk in collaboration with the Antibes Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art.
