🇫🇷 Cagnes-sur-Mer

Major

France

The coastal railway from Marseille to Ventimiglia passes through Cagnes-sur-Mer between Nice and Antibes, where the station carries UIC code 8775632. Regional services on this line run at short intervals for much of the day, so the town functions in practice as part of the wider Nice commuter area. Above the modern seafront stands Haut-de-Cagnes, a fortified hill village grouped around a fourteenth-century Grimaldi castle, while the house where Auguste Renoir spent his final years is preserved nearby as a museum. The Hippodrome de la Côte d'Azur, one of the principal racecourses in southern France, lies close to the shoreline. The station is positioned at roughly 43.66 degrees north, 7.15 degrees east, on Europe/Paris time.
