The arrival of summer transforms Haut-de-Cagnes. As the evenings lengthen and the heat of the day gives way to the balmy nights, Place du Château becomes the stage for the most beautiful nights on the Riviera.
This season, music reclaims its place in our historic square. On Sunday, June 21st, the Fête de la Musique (Music Festival) kicks off the summer; a wonderful opportunity to bring families together for Father's Day. Then, every Friday, Jazz at the Castle extends the musical interlude. The terrace of the Le Village restaurant offers one of the best front-row seats to enjoy these open-air evenings.
