Les Mimosa is a modern, well equipped one room studio apartment in a quiet and secure area, very close to the beach of Cagnes sur Mer and the original fishing village of Cros de Cagnes. At the same time, it is only a stones throw from the Nice airport and the marina of St Laurent du Var is within walking distance. There are restaurants, bars and cafés almost everywhere. It is also close to markets, shops, banks and communications. You find the exclusive shopping mall Cap 3000 on your way to Nice.
The bus stop is one short block away that will take you to and from the airport or to any one of many sites including the villages of St. Paul, Menton, Eze and Antibes.
It is very near the Medieval village of Haut de Cagnes. The museum of August Renoir is just on the opposite hill. The train station less than a 15 minute walk and will take you to Monte Carlo in 30 minutes, 10 minutes to Nice by car or train and one hour to Italy by car or train.
The studio/apartment is on the second floor (with an elevator)of a modern, well maintained apartment building. It has a large balcony with a dining table. The living room has one comfortable sofa bed and one king size bed with a new mattress. There is also a dining table next to the fully equipped kitchenette where 4 can dine comfortably by candlelight.
Available for your use you will find a TV/DVD although only the DVD player is usable. There are many DVD's available for your viewing pleasure. Should you bring your own you will want to bring a USA compatable version. You will also find many CD's for you use.
There is a brand new Visitor's Center located within a brief walk along the Sea. There you will find internet access and very helpful tourist information, maps and brochures of current local events.
The seaside of Cagnes sur Mer has been recently upgraded to provide a promonade accessable to walker's, biker's and skater's. On the week-ends you may find several artists displaying their artwork. The promonade is a beautiful place to walk in the evening. You can watch the sunset while enjoyng a glass of wine or dessert in a cafe' across the road.

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Cagnes-sur-Mer
I have always dreamed of living in or near Italy. This was an ideal location to be close to Italy and the sea but affordable and convenient to reach with public transportation
The Unique Benefits of this Studio Apartment
Great food and wine are a walk away. Meeting lovely people, experiencing life in Europe and the French culture are a benefit when staying at an apartment vs. a hotel.
I can't tell you how enjoyable it is to shop for fresh produce, meat or fish and cook a lovely dinner in the apartment followed by a stroll along the sea and to complete the evening with a cocktail or dessert and espresso while watching the sunset.
For more action Nice is a brief bus or train ride and Monte Carlo is a trip that must be taken by everyone.
I hope you enjoy my home as much as I do when I stay. Bon Voyage!
