Things to do in Cagnes-sur-Mer
A lively seaside and water activities
Just a few steps from the hotel, the seaside promenade invites you to soak up the true Riviera atmosphere. In summer, stroll along on foot, ride a scooter, or even hop on a tuk-tuk for a fun and original experience. Restaurants, ice cream parlors, night markets… the vibe is relaxed, festive, and always sun-kissed.
For the more active, the beach offers volleyball courts, private areas with sunbeds and food service, as well as a wide range of water sports: paddleboarding, kayaking, jet skiing, and even inflatable towables. A real playground with your feet in the water!
Old village, museums and Provençal heritage
Perched on the heights, Haut-de-Cagnes immerses you in the charm of a preserved medieval village. Cobblestone streets, stone houses, and panoramic sea views create an atmosphere that is both authentic and serene.
Here, you can visit the Château-Musée Grimaldi, one of the town’s most iconic landmarks, or step into the intimate world of the Renoir Museum, located in the painter’s last home surrounded by century-old olive trees. A beautiful artistic and cultural escape, just minutes from the hotel.
Racecourse, markets and local events
Cagnes-sur-Mer is also a lively town, animated by events all year round. The Hippodrome de la Côte d’Azur, within walking distance from the hotel, hosts horse races, firework shows, themed evenings, and even professional conferences.
For a taste of local life, don’t miss the town’s traditional markets. Around the Cité Marchande, the daily market (except Mondays) is filled with fresh products. The lively fish market, run by the fishermen themselves, offers an authentic experience by the sea. And on Fridays, head to the Hippodrome market to wander among the colorful stalls.
Shopping and car-free getaways
In the mood for a shopping spree? Just a few minutes’ drive away, you’ll find Cap3000, a huge seaside shopping mall, and Polygone Riviera, an open-air shopping center with boutiques, restaurants, and cinemas in a chic Mediterranean atmosphere.
If you’d like to explore the surroundings, Cagnes-sur-Mer train station (just a short walk from the hotel) takes you to Nice in 10 minutes, as well as Antibes, Cannes, Grasse, or even Monaco—easily and stress-free.
