Travel: A Tour Of Cagnes-Sur-Mer, Southern France

Tourist Channel (July 8, 2023) – Cagnes-sur-Mer is a town in south-eastern France located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, between Saint-Laurent-du-Var and Villeneuve-Loubet. It stretches along a cove offering nearly 2.5 miles of beach and is surrounded by hills, including that of the castle which rises to 300 feet (91 meters) above sea level.

It was the retreat and final address of the painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who moved there in 1907 in an attempt to improve his arthritis, and remained until his death in 1919.
