Antibes in April
We're thinking about spending a week in Antibes next April. But, we don't have a clue as to the weather or the "Offness" of the "Off Season". Will it be dead as a doornail?
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

We spent a week on the Riviera, including a couple of days in Antibes, in April (possibly March?) and it was anything but dead. An excellent time to be there. Cool, but not cold, weather. Lively, with everything open. You needn't worry.

We've been there in April a few times and have enjoyed it. You might get a little rain, which didn't bother us--we're from Seattle, so it wouldn't 
, but there were less tourists and it wasn't dead in the least.

Explore the old town
See the cathedral
Do the food and antiques markets on their respective days
And something I did that I loved was I rented a bicycle in nearby Juan le Pins and biked the Cap d'Antibes where the gorgeous homes are and where F. Scott Fitzgerald and his crowd stayed in the 20's. The Chapel of La Garoupe is there and worth seeing.
If you have a week, I hope you are planning to take the train or bus to some other towns like Nice and St. Paul de Vence. It would also be easy to visit the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild.
Doing a daytrip to Aix-en-Provence is also possible. Don't know where you've already been or how much traveling you want to do.
Hope this helps!
