About Renting a Car at Cagnes-sur-Mer Center

Cagnes-sur-Mer is located in the heart of the French Riviera, 12 km southwest of Nice and 8 km east of Antibes, with 1 car rental company in the town center for visitors wanting to explore the Côte d'Azur on their own. The town is famous for the Renoir Museum in Haut-de-Cagnes and the medieval village perched above the coast. By car, you can reach Nice's city center in 20 minutes and Monaco in 35 minutes via the A8.

Cagnes-sur-Mer is divided into three areas: the coastal strip Cros-de-Cagnes with beaches, the modern town center, and the historic Haut-de-Cagnes.

Traffic along the N7 and A8 is heavy during July and August - plan outings for early morning.

Parking in Haut-de-Cagnes is limited, so leave your car in the town center and walk up to the medieval village.
