The second stage of the tour takes place in The
Cap d’Antibes Beach Hotel. For those who
love luxury and the sea, it is one of the most
beautiful places to stay on the Côte d’Azur.
Located on the well-known Pêcheurs beach,
this hotel has 27 rooms and suites, and is one
of the landmark hotels on the Cap d’Antibes.
Directly on the sea, the contemporary architecture
of the hotel is defined by its pure lines,
and blends in harmoniously with the
Philippe Jego
Mediterranean vegetation that has the charm
and freshness of a garden bathed by the sea.
The hotel is very centrally-located and is the
ideal starting point for a visit of the Old Town
and its ramparts, the Grimaldi Castle, the seafront
esplanade and the Picasso and Fernand
Léger museums. At the gourmet restaurant,
the Pêcheurs, gourmets can discover the innovative
cooking of Philippe Jego, a Michelin
starred chef and chosen Meilleur Ouvrier de
France in 2000 who gently reworks the different
flavours of the Mediterranean coast.
It is in the little village of La Napoule, nestled
in the bay of Cannes, that the doors of the twostarred
restaurant l’Oasis, open out onto a luxuriant
patio. Here, in the shade of centuries-old
plane trees, Stéphane, Antoine and François
Raimbault have found the perfect setting for
The door of the Oasis
their cooking. Every morning, Stéphane
Raimbault goes to the market in Forville, and
creates a menu that is firmly rooted in this
Mediterranean terroir. Nevertheless, he has not
forgotten the nine years he spent in Japan and
adds very personalised touches to his cooking
that come from the Land of the Rising Sun.
Elevated to the rank of the Grandes Tables du
Monde, the Oasis promotes a style of cooking,
where taste alone matters above all, and where
excellence does not cast a shadow over simplicity
and relaxed conviviality. It is a world devoted
to delighting the taste buds of its guests,
which infuses the starred restaurant, the new
bistrot the «Etage», the boutique pastry shop
and the cooking school, the «Ateliers de
l’Oasis»…… Four different ways to explore the
The Patio of the Oasis
Raimbult brothers’ Oasis, and to succumb to
temptation. From there, the route continues to
Saint Raphaël, following a spectacular itinerary
along the red Esterel massif which has kept
many vestiges of the Roman era.
