At the top of Haut-de-Cagnes, the Château-musée Grimaldi combines medieval architecture with the decor of an Italian-style residence. The visitor route brings together the olive tree museum, portraits of Suzy Solidor and painted ceilings, in a setting that also hosts temporary exhibitions. Take time to look around the rooms before returning to the village streets. Guided visits are offered on a separate schedule.
