How to get there

Château Le Cagnard is located in Cagnes-sur-Mer, a town on the French Riviera between Nice and Antibes. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is a 10-kilometre drive away, and is accessible by taxi in 15 minutes, or via public transport in around 40 minutes (there is a direct bus service between the airport and Square Maurice Bourdet in the town centre).

Please note that the hotel is not accessible by car. Guests who intend to travel by car must contact the hotel directly to obtain information on nearby parking locations. Then, once guests have parked, they must contact the hotel to arrange a pickup by hotel staff. If you plan on hiring a car, the village has two free public car parks, plus parking spaces along the many alleyways, however finding a space in high season can be difficult. You can also park at Le Planastel, an underground car park by the entrance to the village. The hotel provides a valet service at arrival from the taxi meeting point.

Please note, the hotel restaurant opens Tuesday to Sunday (May - September) and Wednesday to Sunday (March - May and in October) for dinner only; advance booking is highly recommended in order to avoid disappointment.

Location and what's nearby

54 Rue sous Barri, 06800 Cagnes-sur-Mer, France

Château Le Cagnard sits in the charming hilltop village of Haut-de-Cagnes, right by Cagnes-sur-Mer, on the French Riviera. The village itself is extremely pretty, full of narrow, winding streets that weave around a sleepy village square, and the sea lies just two kilometres away.

Nice and the Bay of Antibes are just a short journey away too, so be sure to drop in on some of the stars’ favourite haunts while you’re in the area – from Belle Epoque Cannes and moneyed Monaco to the crystal beaches of Beaulieu and Villefranche. 
Five-star booking service? You bet.
