Cagnes-sur-Mer: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Cagnes-sur-Mer is a picturesque coastal town located in the French Riviera, between Nice and Antibes. The town is known for its historic medieval quarter, Haut-de-Cagnes, which sits atop a hill crowned by the Grimaldi Castle, now serving as a museum of modern art and olive growing history.

The town gained cultural significance in the early 20th century when it became home to renowned painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who spent the last 12 years of his life here. His former residence, Les Collettes, has been transformed into the Renoir Museum, preserving his studio and personal belongings. The town continues to attract artists and cultural enthusiasts, while maintaining its authentic character as a working fishing port with its colorful Cros-de-Cagnes quarter.
