It is therefore ideal to discover it in more detail during a guided tour led by the Tourist Office of Cagnes.

Renoir museum

Built in the middle of a hill, the Renoir Museum, formerly known as the Domaine des Collettes, is a tribute to the impressionist painter Auguste Renoir, who spent the last 12 years of his life in Cagnes-sur-Mer. This house jealously preserves his works including 14 original paintings and 40 sculptures, but also his furniture and his studio which constitute precious memories of the famous French painter. Renovated in 2013, this museum now opens its doors to immerse you in history for a day.

Le Château Musée Grimaldi

Built in the 1300s by Rainier Grimaldi, this castle that bears his name was once a defensive building where the Lord of Cagnes and his family took shelter in time of war.

Today, it is one of the emblematic places of Cagnes-sur-Mer with the Olive Museum and the Donation Solidor that it houses.
