Nice and Brighton
A Commuter's Journal


Cagnes sur Mer is just 13 kilometers from Nice, so we took the bus and got out at Cros de Cagnes. On our way to the old town on the top of a hill, the medieval quarter called Haut de Cagnes, we passed this open sewer, that seemed to be a river.

Thousands of trouts trying to get upstream.

We walked all the way uphill, but you can take the free shuttle from the bus station in Cagnes sur Mer. It goes every 15 minutes.

We're not quite there yet. Maybe we should have taken that bus?

I starts to look medievalish here...

There they are, the church and the castle!

The castle is also a museum.

With a bit of fantasy you can see the knights on their horses.

View from the castle square.

Typical Provence. How I love this country!

Men are playing petanque on the castle square.

There are several restaurants in the castle square, but we decide for Le Jimmy's, because the waitresses look nicer here.

Cagnes sur Mer is famous for its artists. There is a Renoir domain and museum, a Grimaldi castle and museum, a House of Artists, etc. Ziem, Derain, Cezanne, Renoir, and Modigliani, to mention a few, helped Cagnes sur Mer build its artistic reputation.
