Luggage storage Cagnes-sur-Mer

Store your luggage around Cagnes-sur-Mer with Bounce

Ah, the French Riviera. Anyone visiting France should try and make time to see this scenic area on the Mediterranean Sea near Nice.

In fact, Cagnes is situated right between the Alpes-Maritimes capital of Nice and the well-known Riviera town of Cannes.

Cagnes-sur-Mer city guide

Top things to do in Cagnes-sur-Mer

Due to its location on the Med, Cagnes-sur-Mer's top things to do often revolve around the water. But if you encounter a rainy day or just can't take any more sun, consider spending some time at one of the city's museums, shops, or restaurants. Here's what we recommend:

Museums in Cagnes-sur-Mer

Although Cagnes-sur-Mer is relatively small, it has a few museums worth checking out. Plus, since it's so close to Nice, Cannes, and Antibes, you can easily take advantage of the museums in these places as well.

Musée Renoir

Fans of the artist Renoir will want to see this museum. It was the famous artist's home until his death in 1919 and preserves things the way they would have been at that time. You can tour the drawing room and bedroom, but perhaps the most interesting room is Renoir's atelier, where you can still see his easel and brushes on display.

Musée Renoir bag policy

Don't bring your large suitcases with you here. Although by the standards of a home, this museum is quite large, it's an old structure, so it has many rooms that can get crowded. The museum has lockers, but they are small and fill up fast, especially during July and August. A better bet is to drop everything off with Bounce because you know we'll have space.

Castle Grimaldi Museum

Who can resist a castle? Although this one was converted to a residence around 1620, Grimaldi Castle was actually built in 1309 for Rainier Grimaldi, also known as Rainier I of Monaco. While the building itself is enough to draw in most visitors, there is also the Olive Tree Museum, exhibits of contemporary art, and 40 portraits of Suzy Solidor (a French singer and actress).

Castle Grimaldi Museum bag policy

This museum does not have any luggage storage lockers available and large bags are not permitted inside. Stop off at a convenient Bounce location in the city center or by the train station before heading to this intriguing museum.

Musée Numérique Micro-Folie

In an attempt to bring the cultural treasures of France to the masses, this digital museum is made up of one large HD screen and 17 tablets that visitors can use to explore famous art pieces like the Mona Lisa and legendary buildings like the Notre Dame Cathedral. Although it may not be the same as seeing these masterpieces in person, a trip to this museum will certainly save you time on the train visiting every major city in France. There is also a virtual-reality area for an immersive experience that kids really enjoy.

Musée Numérique Micro-Folie bag policy

This museum has no posted bag policy, and because the art is all virtual, the chances of damaging anything are much lower. Still, it's better to travel light when you can, so a trip to a Bounce luggage storage location in Cagnes-sur-Mer is never a bad idea.

Shopping in Cagnes-sur-Mer

For a town of around 50,000 inhabitants, you might not expect there to be major shopping destinations here, but there are. Take a break from sightseeing and head to any one of these spots for a new outfit, fresh foods, and unique souvenirs.

Polygone Riviera

Similar to large outdoor retail outlets in the US, this shopping center has everything you need and then some. It boasts a movie theater, tons of restaurants, and lots of shops to choose from. You can browse places like Primark, Printemps, Calzedonia, and Calvin Klein here. And don't forget to drop off your bags with Bounce before heading inland to this huge shopping area. You won't want to carry your new purchases and your suitcase at the same time.

Cagnes-sur-Mer Marché Couvert

If you're looking for the French market experience, head to Cagnes' Marché Couvert on rue du Marché. this all-weather destination is open in the mornings from Tuesday to Sunday and showcases local products like honey, olive oil, and wine in addition to fresh produce. This area gets busy, so your bags can get in the way. Avoid the hassle by using Bounce before you even start shopping.

Merchant City Cagnes-sur-Mer

For another market-like experience, head to Market City on rue Jean Raymond Giacosa. There are also local products and gifts to buy here and dining options right from the local producers. It doesn't get any fresher than that!

Restaurants in Cagnes-sur-Mer

As with many areas in France, the restaurants in Cagnes skew French - which makes sense. The best options are generally scattered along the waterfront and feature excellent selections of seafood, pasta, roasted meats, and other favorites.

Bistrot de la Marine

With a large patio for drinks and dining that has lovely sea views, you can't go wrong with Bistrot de la Marine. The menu is full of seafood like shrimp, salmon, mussels, and squid. You can also get classic French dishes like foie gras, rabbit, and extravagant cheese plates. Whatever you do, try to get a table outside so that you can really enjoy dining with a spectacular view.

Restaurant Le Pérousin

If price isn't too much of a concern, head to Restaurant Le Pérousin, also near the seafront. The best item on the menu is the tasting menu with multiple courses, but it will set you back €125 per person. But if your budget doesn't stretch that far, you can still order more economically a la carte from the tasty French-focused menu.

Restaurant Cararocca

For a Mediterranean-inspired meal, Restaurant Cararocca is another solid choice along the waterfront. The indoor dining room and fairly large terrace overlook the water, so there's no forgetting where you are here. As you'd expect from its location, the restaurant has an enviable selection of seafood, and the risotto is a particular favorite as well.

Conclusion

Cagnes-sur-Mer might be the perfect destination for travelers who prefer to avoid larger cities and the high prices of famous small towns. You still get the advantages of fine dining, great museums, excellent shopping, and a location by the coast while enjoying a more laid-back vacation.
