It’s almost impossible to resist the charm of Cagnes-Sur-Mer. A hidden jewel on the French Rivera, the picturesque fishing village offers visitors a unique blend of French tradition with seaside relaxation, in an unbelievable location. Whether you’re planning a family holiday or a weekend break, with year-round warm temperatures, a 3.5 km (2.2 miles) beach, as well as an array of attractions and restaurants, it’s hard to beat this stunning coastal resort, which is just a short 15-minute drive from Nice Côte d'Azur airport.

Originally an artisan retreat, Cagnes-sur-Mer’s rolling forests and pebbled beaches on the edge of the sparkling Meditteranean sea have been inspiring artists and writers for generations, with Renoir spending his final 12 years enjoying the breathtaking views of the Cape of Antibes, from his beautiful estate, amongst the olive and citrus trees.

Nowadays, things are a little more fast-paced, with year-round watersports and adventure activities, meaning there’s something on offer for everybody.
