Haut-de-Cagnes: the hilltop village and its castle, cypresses and olive trees

Cagnes-sur-Mer, Renoir's village and the seafront

Between Nice and Antibes, Cagnes is three towns: Haut-de-Cagnes, a medieval village under its Grimaldi castle, where painters settled in the 1920s; the domaine des Collettes, where Renoir spent his last twelve years among the olive trees; and Cros-de-Cagnes, the former fishing village turned resort, with its beach, its racecourse and its promenade. A quarter of an hour from the airport, it is the closest destination for a stay between village and sea.

Things to do

  • Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Vence, ten minutes away. By the Vence road, the two art villages of the hinterland: the Maeght foundation, the Matisse chapel. Each has its own fare from Nice, or I drop you there from Cagnes on request.
  • Polygone Riviera and the shops. The coast's large open-air shopping centre, five minutes from the centre, with its shops, restaurants and cinema: handy for a rainy day or a stopover.
  • The village festivities. The Haut-de-Cagnes international festival, in August, with its concerts in the castle courtyard; the Medieval days in summer; the Chestnut festival in autumn. The village lives all year round.
  • Food. The restaurants of the village around place du Château, several of them renowned, the fish restaurants of the Cros facing the sea, and the beach huts of the promenade in summer.
  • Cycling and the promenade. The seafront cycle path links the Cros to Villeneuve-Loubet and Antibes on one side, Saint-Laurent-du-Var and the airport on the other, on the flat, with the sea all the way.
  • The races. The racecourse meetings, in winter and summer, with the evening races in July and August: the most popular outing in Cagnes, for families, with a restaurant and a view of the sea.

When to come

Winter

The racecourse winter meeting, from December to March, the village for its residents, the olive trees of Les Collettes in the low light. The season for racegoers and lovers of quiet.

Spring

The village in bloom with wisteria and bougainvillea, Renoir's garden at its peak, the first swims at the Cros in May. The best time for Haut-de-Cagnes.

Summer

The evening races at the racecourse, the village festival in August, evenings at the Cros. Plan the pick-up early in the morning, when the motorway and the seafront are clear.

Autumn

Warm water until October, olives being harvested at Les Collettes, the Chestnut festival in the village. Cagnes gets its rhythm and its winter prices back in September.

The ride from Nice

About twelve kilometres separate Nice from Cagnes. I take the A8 motorway to the Cagnes-sur-Mer exit, then the centre, the village or the seafront depending on your address: the fastest and most reliable route. From the airport, the seafront via Saint-Laurent-du-Var is sometimes just as fast for the Cros. Tolls are included in the fare. On arrival, I drop you at the exact address of your choice: hotel, station, beach, Renoir museum or the village as close as possible to the lanes.
