Cagnes-sur-Mer

城市概覽

The town is divided in three parts. The Cros de Cagnes is the portion of the village that is near the Sea, including the little fishermen harbour. The Cagnes is the modern portion of the village. The Haut de Cagnes is the medieval origin of the Cagnes settlement and nestles around an imposing medieval castle once owned by the Grimaldi dynasty (the Royal family of Monaco). The picture-perfect village has been maintained successfully over the years and offers an alternative to the concrete of the modern French Riviera.

如何抵達

The town is 10 minutes drive from Nice Cote Azur airport.

當地交通

There is a free Navette (shuttle) that serves Haut de Cagnes and takes you around the village and into Cagnes sur Mer. Look for #44.

住宿

Haute de Cagnes, having been meticulously preserved, has not been overcome by modern developments and big hotel complexes, so lodging options in that portion of town are limited to a handful of small hotels and private villa rentals.

Le Cagnard, 54, Rue Sous-Barri, ☏ +33 4 93 20 73 22, [email protected]. A quality (and pricey) establishment also to be found in the Relais & Châteaux guide.
