Château Le Cagnard

Built in the 13th century, Le Cagnard is an exceptional stone dwelling which is part of the city wall of the Medieval village of Haut-de-Cagnes. Its history is closely tied to that of the Château Grimaldi, which dates back to the 14th century: the Guard Room in particular, with its arched fireplace, is evidence of its Medieval heritage, a time during which Knights protected the village and its château.

At the heart of the French Riviera, Haut-de-Cagnes is a small hilltop village that has successfully preserved its medieval character and authentic Provençal charm. Surrounded by ramparts and dotted with small shady squares nestled among the sinuous alleyways, it invites visitors to unwind and take peaceful strolls. The village is built atop a hill and surrounds the Château Grimaldi, which is now a museum. The view of Cagnes-sur-Mer, it envisages of both the sea and the rising hills of the backcountry is stunning.

Today, its calm, enchanting atmosphere makes for a pleasant and romantic change of scenery. While winding along the old town’s picturesque alleyways, take some time to admire the magnificent flowered balconies of its rustic buildings. As you explore the nooks and crannies of the ancient fortress, its numerous dwellings will whisk you away into the past, where you’ll discover the calm and serenity of life in days gone by.

Le Haut-de-Cagnes is located just a few minutes from the beach and is ideally situated for exploring Nice (10 km), St-Paul-de-Vence (5 km) and other magnificent villages in the vicinity. This and its close proximity to the area's main golf courses and horse track make the village an essential stopover on any holiday to the French Riviera.
