Haut-de-Cagnes hilltop village with its castle and bell tower

Haut-de-Cagnes, the medieval village of Cagnes-sur-Mer

In Cagnes-sur-Mer, the old village looks down on the coast from its hill. You go up to the Haut-de-Cagnes for the lanes and the castle square, then back down to the seafront restaurants.

Discover Cagnes-sur-Mer

The castle and Renoir

Around 1300, Rainier Grimaldi built the castle that crowns the Haut-de-Cagnes. It now houses the Olive Tree Museum and the Solidor donation, and the view from its tower takes in the sea and the Alps. In 1907, Auguste Renoir bought Les Collettes, and he lived there until his death in 1919. His studio can still be visited, at the Renoir Museum.

The Cros and the races

The Cros-de-Cagnes was once a fishing village. People now come for the restaurants, the beaches and the little port. The Hippodrome de la Côte d'Azur, opened in 1952, covers nearly 60 hectares. From December to March, its winter meeting brings together trotting, flat and jump racing, and trotting returns in July and August.

Our chauffeur services in Cagnes-sur-Mer

Getting here and away

Nice Airport is very close, about 15 minutes away along the coast. The price starts from €70 and does not change after that. The town has two TER stations, Cagnes-sur-Mer for the centre and Cros-de-Cagnes for the beach. By TGV, we wait for you in Nice or Antibes.

Getting up to the Haut-de-Cagnes

On foot, the Montée de la Bourgade is steep, and nobody wants to tackle it with suitcases. Tell us where you are staying in the old town, and we will agree on the best drop-off point. For a race meeting, give us the day and the first race, then the time you want to leave. Polygone Riviera, the large shopping centre near the A8, is also easy to reach by car from your hotel.

A day in Cagnes-sur-Mer

In the morning, go first to Les Collettes, Renoir's house. Then head up to the Haut-de-Cagnes, have lunch in the old town, and visit the castle. The end of the day comes back down to the Cros for a walk by the water. On a race day, the racing can round off the plan, or a trip to Saint-Paul-de-Vence can replace it.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Cagnes-sur-Mer?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €80 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €100 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €130 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€70 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.

How long does it take from Nice Airport to Cagnes-sur-Mer?

About 15 minutes to reach Cagnes-sur-Mer (9 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.

Can you take us to the racecourse?

Yes. Give us the day of the meeting and the time you want to arrive. We then set the return with you.

How do we get up to the Haut-de-Cagnes with luggage?

By car is simplest. Tell us your address in the old town, and we will choose together where to drop you.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.

How do I pay?

Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.

What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?

A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
