Absinthe Museum, Antibes

Quirky absinthe bar in the basement of a corner building in old Antibes. Packed full of character and loads of old absinthe glassware. Absinthe is an acquired taste, but go for the experience and pretend you are in some 1800’s Parisienne bar or the Moulin Rouge. There was a nice chap playing guitar and singing.

Excellent quirky museum in a small side street just off the covered market. Not obvious but its hidden away at the back of a shop selling Absinthe. To find it walk to the back of the shop and then down a flight of stairs. The whole bar is underground with parts dating back to Roman times. There's a collection of Absinthe and the special water fountains used with sugar cubes when drinking Absinthe. The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable. Very worth a visit.
