Haut-de-Cagnes is the hilltop old village of Cagnes-sur-Mer, with narrow streets, passageways beneath houses and old fortified gates. The neighbourhood retains the atmosphere of a Provençal village, away from the bustle of the seafront, with views across the rooftops and out to the Mediterranean. Visitors come to explore the streets on foot, discover the medieval heritage and enjoy a stay between the village and the coast.

Château Grimaldi, which houses a museum, is 100 m away; its collections and exhibitions introduce local history and art. Notre-Dame de Protection Chapel and Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul Church are among the landmarks of the old village. Below, the Renoir Museum recalls the painter's time in Cagnes. The coastal beaches are 1.9 km away, and Cagnes-sur-Mer train station, 1.1 km away, provides connections to other towns along the coast. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is 4.7 km away; the drive takes about 20 minutes.

For a varied day out, start with the narrow streets and ramparts, then head down to the sea for a walk along the beach or a swim. Nice is a good option for an excursion, with its squares, museums and seafront promenade. The Mediterranean climate makes stays enjoyable year-round; summer is hot and lively on the coast, while spring and autumn bring milder temperatures for exploring the village and surrounding area on foot.
