Cagnes-sur-Mer is a town and commune of the Alpes-Maritimes département and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, in southeastern France. It is a part of the metropolitan Community of Agglomeration Nice Côte d'Azur and the largest suburb of the city of Nice, and lies to the west-southwest of it, about 15 km from the center. Famously it was the retreat and final address of the painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who moved there in an attempt to improve his arthritis. Places of interest include Renoir's estate, Les Collettes, surrounded by olive trees ; the Middle-Ages Castle at le Haut-de-Cagnes and the Cros quarter, founded by Italian fishermen in the nineteenth century. It is also known for its horse racing venue, the Hippodrome de la Côte d'Azur, and a four-kilometer pebble beach.
