Cagnes-sur-Mer


Cagnes-sur-Mer
Cagnes-sur-Mer is situated in the department of Alpes Maritimes between Nice and Antibes. Cagnes-sur-Mer is divided into three areas: The holiday and beach resort Cros-de-Cagnes, Cagnes-Ville, the commercial centre and Haut-de-Cagnes, the medieval part of town. Haut-de-Cagnes is without doubt the most interesting of all three. It was here that the famous impressionistic painter Auguste Renoir moved, racketed with rheumatism, to spend his last 15 years in the house, Les Colettes, surrounded by old olive trees and flowers. The house is now museum and is preserved as it was when the painter died. One can amongst other works find 10 paintings of Renoir as well as works of his friends Bonnard and Dufy.

View from the holiday place Haut-de-Cagnes

The fortified Haut-de-Cagnes lies at the top of a small mountain.

The town is broken up by steep, winding streets, stairways and lots of small, idyllic squares. Haut-de-Cagnes is most interesting because of the old Grimaldi castle from the 14th century. In the square in front of the palace there are several cafés and night clubs and it can be very lively on a summer night. A medieval gate leads to the palace yard, Place Grimaldi, with an entrance to the museum. The palace is a curious miniature castle which was originally built as a fort and prison, but in the 17th century it was rebuilt by the Italian noble family Grimaldi. The Italian influence is very visible. Every summer, there is a painting exhibition, which is now so well reputed that participating artists, including several Danes, can give a special thanks to this exhibition for their international break through .
