Parc des Canebiers

Completely transformed to provide more space for playing, walking, relaxation and peace and quiet for all, and also to bring more nature into the city: to create a space for well-being, a biodiversity refuge and a vast island of coolness, right in the centre of town!

At a time when biodiversity is under threat, this park is a refuge for flora and fauna along the Cagne ecological corridor. The park is a key component of the ‘Coulée bleue’ project in the Schéma directeur de la Cagne 2020-2040.

At a time when summer heatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent, the presence of this 30,000 m² ‘green lung’ right in the centre of town is a chance for the people of Cagne to get some fresh air and reconnect with nature.

Following on from the work to re-naturalise the Cagne, the park is now back in touch with the river's flowing waters, its flower-filled banks, its large sunny meadows, its majestic clusters of plane and white poplar trees and other fine shrubs.
It has been enriched by a diversity of plants and natural environments that encourage animal biodiversity and offer a variety of spaces to experience and discover.
