The Medieval town of Haut-de-Cagnes, village of history, village of painters…
A unique site on the Côte d’Azur between sea and mountain, the Medieval village of Haut-de-Cagnes has known how to preserve the mystery
of the fortified sites of Provence while making it a welcome place for visitors seeking the authenticity of times gone by.
The Haut-de-Cagnes is unveiled at each step with your guide: a maze of narrow steep streets paved with stones, the numerous flights of steps,
the pretty stone dwellings decorated with a multitude of flowers, the vaulted passages, the wash house, the Maison des Artistes (exhibitions
of contemporary art), the Espace Solidor (exhibitions of contemporary jewellery), the religious heritage (the Saint-Pierre church and the Notre-
Dame de la Protection chapel – classed as an historical monument and magnificently decorated with frescos from the 16th century), vaulted shops
and gourmet restaurants all make up the spirit of the village.
With its incredible panoramic view over the Mediterranean to the Mercantour mountain range it is not surprising that Soutine, Modigliani or
Ziem fell in love with the place… you will too !
