Le Nomade

A walk around the marina will find you overlooking the sea and pondering this sculpture. The Nomad is a reflective and inspiring place.

Huge artwork with a beautiful meaning. Free to access but you need to find your way. You need to start at the bottom of marina (marina parking) and follow the road/wall that circles marina (along the wall on the right if you face the sea). Once you reach about mid-point, there will be ramp up the wall. It takes you up to an open-air bar, so you just walk through the gate and keep walking past the bar to the statue.

Great views of the coast and the “mega-yachts”. Great outdoor bar set up with a very cool vibe. Friendly bartenders and staff.

Drove 45 mins to get to Le Nomade in Antibes. Absolutely worth the drive. Reached there at about 8pm and managed to catch the sunset. Le Nomade faces the sea and had a therapeutic walk along the coast line seeing the waves hit the shore. This attraction is out in the open and no tickets are required. This, in my opinion, is worth a visit and thereafter you can visit the Antibes town which is bustling with life.

This is a fun and easy spot to walk to if you're visiting Antibes! Beautiful views of the water and port. You can walk right up to and inside the sculpture.

Mesmerizing outdoor statue that is visible from far too. Very nice place to watch sunset and the billionaires bay in a vibrant Antibes. Currently (7/2022) some construction going on so couldn't get up and close like I. The times before but still worth to go see and take a stroll to look out on see.

The Nomade is one of the most intriguing structures planted in the town of Antibes. Sitting outside the Bastion Saint-Jaume, this gigantic white sculpture is the masterpiece of the French Riviera. Jaume Plensa created this ironwork of a man sitting calmly looking at the sea. Saint-Jaume has history attached to it; when the Romans occupied the land, there was a chapel, a temple, and thereafter a tower, located on site. The Bastion Shipyard was built much later, after many years, but eventually closed in the 1980s. The Nomade sculpture brings lightness and amusement to the place with serious historic stories.

The pier was built in the 1970s with financial aid from mostly Saudi Arabian yacht owners, who wanted a decent place to tie up. Locals call this the Quai des Milliardaires (“billionaire’s dock”), so it had some MASSIVE yachts and a good outlook of the rest of the city. One of the more memorable parts of the visit to Antibes.
