At the heart of the South-East, Antibes (06) belongs to PACA and copes with high tourist pressure for much of the year. The area is crossed by the A7 known as the Autoroute du Soleil, the A8 to Italy and a dense network of corniche departmental roads in the Alpes-Maritimes and Var. The mistral, blowing down the Rhone valley, can be very strong for days and push high-sided vehicles sideways. Driving in Antibes alternates historic centre, peripheral bypasses and axes to the ring road. This diversity gives candidates good versatility for exam day.
