Easter 2026 at Haut-de-Cagnes: Art Festival & Lunch
This year, Easter weekend (Sunday, April 5 and Monday, April 6, 2026) offers the perfect opportunity to take a relaxing break, far from the hustle and bustle.
As if by a quirk of the calendar, this Easter Sunday coincides with the first Sunday of the month. For the occasion, the Haut-de-Cagnes to Cagnes-sur-Mer area comes alive and switches to a special mode: Art Festival from 11am to 6pm, with the added bonus of a free visit to the Grimaldi Castle-Museum.
The ideal itinerary? A cultural stroll through the medieval streets, classical music, and, above all, a truly relaxing moment on the terrace of Restaurant Le Village, right on the Castle Square.
