The second stage of the tour takes place in The<br />
Cap d’Antibes Beach Hotel. For those who<br />
love luxury and the sea, it is one of the most<br />
beautiful places to stay on the Côte d’Azur.<br />
Located on the well-known Pêcheurs beach,<br />
this hotel has 27 rooms and suites, and is one<br />
of the landmark hotels on the Cap d’Antibes.<br />
Directly on the sea, the contemporary architecture<br />
of the hotel is defined by its pure lines,<br />
and blends in harmoniously with the<br />

Mediterranean vegetation that has the charm<br />
and freshness of a garden bathed by the sea.<br />
The hotel is very centrally-located and is the<br />
ideal starting point for a visit of the Old Town<br />
and its ramparts, the Grimaldi Castle, the seafront<br />
esplanade and the Picasso and Fernand<br />
Léger museums. At the gourmet restaurant,<br />
the Pêcheurs, gourmets can discover the innovative<br />
cooking of Philippe Jego, a Michelin<br />
starred chef and chosen Meilleur Ouvrier de<br />
France in 2000 who gently reworks the different<br />
flavours of the Mediterranean coast.<br />
It is in the little village of La Napoule, nestled<br />
in the bay of Cannes, that the doors of the twostarred<br />
restaurant l’Oasis, open out onto a luxuriant<br />
patio. Here, in the shade of centuries-old<br />
plane trees, Stéphane, Antoine and François<br />
Raimbault have found the perfect setting for<br />
The door of the Oasis<br />
their cooking. Every morning, Stéphane<br />
Raimbault goes to the market in Forville, and<br />
creates a menu that is firmly rooted in this<br />
Mediterranean terroir. Nevertheless, he has not<br />
forgotten the nine years he spent in Japan and<br />
adds very personalised touches to his cooking<br />
that come from the Land of the Rising Sun.<br />
Elevated to the rank of the Grandes Tables du<br />
Monde, the Oasis promotes a style of cooking,<br />
where taste alone matters above all, and where<br />
excellence does not cast a shadow over simplicity<br />
and relaxed conviviality. It is a world devoted<br />
to delighting the taste buds of its guests,<br />
which infuses the starred restaurant, the new<br />
bistrot the «Etage», the boutique pastry shop<br />
and the cooking school, the «Ateliers de<br />
l’Oasis»…… Four different ways to explore the<br />
The Patio of the Oasis<br />
Raimbult brothers’ Oasis, and to succumb to<br />
temptation. From there, the route continues to<br />
Saint Raphaël, following a spectacular itinerary<br />
along the red Esterel massif which has kept<br />
many vestiges of the Roman era.<br />
