Visit Cagnes-sur-Mer with the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau
Ideally situated between Nice and Cannes, the town owes its charm to the medieval village of Haut-de-Cagnes, whose Grimaldi castle-museum dominates the town. Numerous personalities and artists, including Renoir, have stayed or lived in Cagnes-sur-Mer.
Cagnes-sur-Mer has also become a true shopping destination, thanks to Shopping Promenade Riviera, France’s 1st open-air shopping center. Not to mention a rich program of events all year round and its famous Hippodrome de la Côte d’Azur.
