17 May
Fashion in Juan
Little Pinède, Rue Jacques Léonetti
Antibes Juan-les-Pins is the venue for fashion shows of the new spring/summer collections with the participation of shops in Juan-les-Pins and regional, national and international fashion designers. Come along and watch the parades to plan your summer wardrobe.
A special event in the spring sunshine where the latest colours and fashion trends by inventive fashion designers are to be seen. The words of Coco Chanel ring very true today: “It cannot be called fashion if it is not seen on the street”.
The street today is in the heart of the Pinède and goes by the name of rue Léonetti in Juan-les-Pins.
17 and 18 May
5th Coupé and Cabriolet and SUV Car Show
Pinède Gould
An automobile fashion show with all the latest models on display.
Driving a coupé or a convertible has become a way of life and very much a part of the car culture. So much so, that today the difference between a coupé and a convertible is negligible and these new models cleverly demonstrate how each car can be a symbol of the times in all seasons in a fraction of a second.
Car manufacturers are going with the increasing popularity trend of the coupé and convertible, sales of which increased more than 13% in the three-month period at the end of last year.
A 10% increase in sales of SUVs (Sports Utility Vehicles) with their new features also demonstrates a significant increase in popularity.
The Car Show in the sun of Juan-les-Pins is a reflection of this growing popularity with the large number of new models produced this year, and there are lots of surprises too on the theme of the pleasure of driving.
Homage is also paid to the Antibes Rally Association, organiser of the celebrated Antibes Rally, and to the queens of the road in days gone by with an exhibition of wonderful vintage cars that used to grace the roads of the Côte d’Azur in days gone by.
17 and 18 May
Sand Sculpture
Little Pinède, Rue Jacques Léonetti
Sandcastles are not castles in the air. Masters of the craft demonstrate this in Juan. Sand and water are the only materials used by these sculptors of the ephemeral to produce giant works that evoke pleasure and admiration in young and old alike.
A marvellous day out in good company.
