House With Swimming Pool Near The Beach Cagnes Sur Mer

Cagnes-sur-Mer occupies a distinctive position on the Côte d’Azur between Nice and Antibes, combining three distinct identities within a single commune: the medieval hilltop village of Haut-de-Cagnes, the coastal district of Cros-de-Cagnes with its long pebble and sand beach, and the commercial centre of Cagnes-Ville. The town is closely associated with Auguste Renoir, who spent his final years here, and retains a character that is genuinely residential rather than purely touristic, attracting buyers who want proximity to Nice without the density.

The beach at Cros-de-Cagnes runs for several kilometres and remains accessible year-round. The weekly market on Place du Général de Gaulle covers fresh produce and local goods. Haut-de-Cagnes, a short drive uphill, offers restaurants including the well-regarded Josy-Jo. The Hippodrome de la Côte d’Azur, one of France’s principal racecourses, sits within the commune.

Cagnes-sur-Mer is served by its own SNCF station on the Marseille to Ventimiglia line, with direct trains reaching Nice in approximately 15 minutes and Cannes in around 20 minutes. Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is roughly 12 kilometres away, accessible in 15 to 20 minutes by car. The A8 motorway provides fast connections westward to Cannes and Aix-en-Provence and eastward toward Monaco and the Italian border.
