A fishing village, Cros-de-Cagnes is above all a seaside resort ideal for leisure, relaxation, the beach and the many water sports available all year round.
- Fishing village and maritime traditions:
In 1971, this former fishing village became a dynamic seaside resort for sea lovers.
Although Cros-de-Cagnes now attracts visitors more for its nautical and tourist activities than for its fishing, it has nevertheless managed to preserve its maritime traditions.
Today, it's a subtle blend of modernity and tradition, with its sheltered harbor, its ochre-toned fishermen's chapel, its pointus, its flower-filled streets, its Place Saint-Pierre bustling with boulistes, its Avenue des Oliviers and its shopkeepers...
- The Promenade de la Plage
The town of Cagnes-sur-Mer has undertaken a complete overhaul of its seafront.
Thanks to a total investment of 30 M€, the Promenade de la Plage (for which the town of Cagnes-sur-Mer won 1st prize in the Concours des Entrées de Ville) has become a success story and an exceptional place for discovery and leisure.
- A land of events
All year round, the Promenade de la Plage is the ideal setting for numerous events that liven up Cagnes-sur-Mer's seafront. For example, the "Dimanches Malins" in spring, the "Fête de la Saint-Pierre et de la Mer" and the "Promenade en Fête" in summer attract thousands of people to the seafront, which becomes pedestrianized for an exceptional day or evening, much to everyone's delight!
