Cros-de-Cagnes - Fishermen's village

- Fishing Village and Maritime Traditions: In 1971, this former fishing village became a vibrant seaside resort for lovers of the sea. Although Cros-de-Cagnes now attracts visitors more for its water sports and tourist activities than for its fishing industry, it has nevertheless managed to preserve its maritime traditions. Today, it offers a subtle blend of modernity and tradition, with its sheltered harbor, its ochre-hued Fishermen’s Chapel, its “pointus” (traditional fishing boats), its streets named after flowers, its Place Saint-Pierre bustling with boules players, its Avenue des Oliviers, and its local shops… - The Promenade de la Plage The city of Cagnes-sur-Mer has undertaken a complete redevelopment of its waterfront. Thanks to a total investment of 30 M€, the Promenade de la Plage (for which the city of Cagnes-sur-Mer won first prize in the national City Entrance Design Competition) has become a model of success and an exceptional destination for exploration and recreation. - A Hub for Events All year round, the Promenade de la Plage serves as the ideal setting for numerous events that bring the Cagnes-sur-Mer waterfront to life. For example, the “Dimanches Malins” in the spring, the “Fête de la Saint-Pierre et de la Mer ,” and the “Promenade en Fête” events in the summer attract thousands of people to the waterfront, which becomes pedestrian-only for a day or an exceptional evening, much to everyone’s delight!
