Cagnes-sur-Mer, situated between Nice and Cannes on the renowned French Riviera (Côte d'Azur), is a destination that offers a dual experience: the lively seaside life of its long coast and the historic charm of the ancient village of Haut de Cagnes. This combination makes it an ideal place for our guests who desire a luxury and wellness stay in a maritime setting, without giving up the discovery of a rich historical and artistic heritage.

Real Experience: Art, History, and Sea, Advice from Our Travel Designers

• Haut de Cagnes – The perched medieval village is our favourite spot. We recommend visiting it early in the morning, walking through the flower-filled alleyways, and enjoying the panoramic view of the Baie des Anges. It's an experience of charm and tranquility.
• Renoir Museum (Les Collettes) – The last home of the famous Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Visiting the house and its olive grove offers an emotional immersion into his life and inspiration.
• Grimaldi Castle Museum (Château-Musée Grimaldi) – Dominates Haut de Cagnes and houses collections of modern and contemporary art.
• Beaches of Cagnes-sur-Mer – The coast stretches for about 3.5 km, offering equipped lidos and pebble beaches (typical of the area). Perfect for swimming and water sports.

Provençal Gastronomy and Mediterranean Aromas

The local cuisine is a riot of fresh and Mediterranean flavours:

• Socca – The typical chickpea flour 'crêpe', to be enjoyed as street food, crunchy and flavourful.
• Salade Niçoise – The authentic Niçoise salad, rich in fresh vegetables, tuna or anchovies, and hard-boiled eggs.
• Ratatouille – Stew of local vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes) slow-cooked with Provençal herbs.
• Rosé Wines of Provence – Perfect for accompanying the seafood dishes of the French Riviera.
