One of America's biggest NBA (National Basketball Association) stars of the late 1980s and 90s, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, has been enjoying a well-earned break with his family in Antibes and along the French Riviera.

On holiday with the whole Johnson family, the couple were joined by Magic's eldest son Andre Johnson, their paternal son, Earvin III (who was the star of reality TV show 'Rich Kids of Beverly Hills') and their adopted daughter Elisa.

The family enjoyed some time on board a private yacht before heading ashore to Magic's favourite restaurant, Michaelangelo's in Antibes. Le Michelangelo Restaurant has been at home in the ancient wine cave of Domaine Ott in Antibes for more than twenty years. An authentic Italian restaurant that attracts the likes of Robert DeNiro, George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio...to name but a few. There is barely a night that goes by during the summer months that you won't see a famous face or two huddled in the dark corners of this old stone wine cellar. With a reputation for good quality food and a great ambience, it should come as no surprise that Magic and his family would dine here!
