Key rules at a glance

On-street (voirie):
- 1 hour free per day per vehicle (take a free ticket at the meter).
- Free: Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, 12:00–14:00, and 18:00–09:00.
- The city lists around 1,800 free on-street spaces across the commune.
Accessibility & EVs: Blue Badge holders and electric vehicles park free on street.
Good on-street options near the train station on Avenue Robert Soleau.

Old Town (Vieil Antibes)

Largely pedestrian. Spaces are scarce and only when the streets are allowed for vehicles.

Drop-off routines:

When not fully pedestrian: at the level of Beer Shop, 3 Cours Masséna (≈100 m to Picasso apartments), is a good option.
When fully pedestrian (~15:30–01:00): Rue Aubernon (Remparts gate), ≈4-minute walk.

Closest car parks:

Q-Park Pré-aux-Pêcheurs (Avenue de Verdun) — central; first hour free. Day and multi-day prices vary—pre-booking often reduces the weekly rate significantly versus paying day-by-day. Check live rates before you arrive.
Q-Park La Poste (Rue Vauban) — a short walk to the Marché Provençal; first hour free; day and weekly prices vary. Pre-booking often lowers the total if you need multiple days. Check live rates before you arrive.

Prefer certainty? Book a flat with a private space, this is rare in Antibes Old Town.

Via Marenda — 2-bed with terrace + basement parking
Albert 1er — 1-bed with reserved parking, 5 min to Plage du Ponteil/Old Town

Juan-les-Pins (beach side)

Seafront demand peaks on sunny days and summer evenings. Look one or two streets back from the promenade for calmer parking streets.

Seasonal: several open-air seafront car parks (e.g., Courbet, Dulys) switch to paid in summer; outside summer they are often free (check signs).

Stay with parking:

Jardin des Îles — 2-Bed with garden and terrace near the beach + basement parking.

Cap d’Antibes (coves & coastal path)

Gorgeous but narrow roads; bays are limited near the Sentier de Tire-Poil.

Arrive early or later in the afternoon.
Salis car park is paid 1 June–30 Sept, typically free outside those dates.

Free park-&-ride + free shuttle to the centre

Use these if you won’t need the car daily:

Fort Carré P+R — ~150 places, 1.90 m height, typically 48 h limit; free.
Bouygues P+R — ~120 places, 1.90 m height, typically 48 h limit; free.
A free shuttle runs 7 days/week from these car parks to the centre/Old Town; frequency is higher in summer and hours are extended in peak.

EV charging, accessibility & payments

EVs: on-street parking is free for electric vehicles; public charging points exist at larger facilities. Carry your app/cable.
Blue Badge/PRM: on-street free with badge; municipal car parks provide designated spaces near lifts/exits.
Meters: take the 1-hour free ticket at the meter; most accept bank cards (alphanumeric keypad).
