• The Jazz Club in the Hôtel Ambassadeur keeps the music going with late-night jam sessions (until 1am), after each of the Jazz in Juan concerts, at the Jazz Club in the Hôtel Ambassadeur (Chemin des Sables). It’s free but it’s best to reserve a table beforehand.
• If you don’t want to book online, you can get tickets from the Antibes or Juan-les-Pins Tourist Offices.
