The Renoir Museum in Cagnes sur Mer

Just a 25-minute drive from Villa Victorine, the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer immerses you in the world of the famous Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Located in the magnificent Collettes estate, this authentic residence is surrounded by century-old olive trees and offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. Renoir settled there in 1907 and spent the last years of his life there, fascinated by the unique light of the Côte d'Azur, which shines through in his works.

The Renoir Museum exhibits several of the artist's paintings, sculptures, and personal objects, offering an intimate glimpse into his daily life and his creative process. You can discover his studio, still preserved with his brushes and canvases, where he painted despite the pain of arthritis. The park surrounding the house is a true haven of peace, conducive to relaxation and contemplation, recalling the gentle and bucolic atmosphere that inspired the artist so much.

After an enriching visit to the museum, you can return to the comfort of Villa Victorine, your hotel in Nice. This charming villa offers comfortable rooms, tastefully furnished and equipped with all the amenities necessary for a pleasant stay. The large flower garden of Villa Victorine invites you to relax after a day of exploration. You can enjoy a moment of tranquility in the shade of the trees or enjoy an outdoor breakfast, carefully prepared by your hosts.

Whether you are passionate about art or simply looking for a relaxing setting, a visit to the Renoir Museum combined with a stay at the Villa Victorine is a perfect combination for discovering the wonders of the Côte d'Azur.
