Go there when you want to enjoy some peace and quiet. The house is restored and you can feel Renoir and his family´s spirit there. The bedrooms, the living rooms and even the artist´s very personal studio with his wheelchair are restored. You will see his exceptional views and all his inspirations. When you are finished with his house, his... More

Been going to the South of France---usually stay in Cannes---for more than 25 years and still get the chills when I visit Renoir's home. I always get the eerily mystical feeling that the great man's presence still is in the vicinity. An enchanting place with great views of the picturesque surroundings. I understand Renoir has been gone for 93 years,... More

Renoir's house is situated in a very prestigious part of Cagnes-sur-Mer, and over looks the medieval town and the hills that surround. Beautiful view. I love how they have Renoir's painting outside that he has done...right next to the object of the painting. The house is just incredible as well. We stayed there for just over two hours. More

I took the bus from the promenade in Nice and got off at Square Bourdin at Cagnes sur Mer, From there it's either a short bus ride or a stiff climb uphill for about 15 mins to get to Renoir's former home. I walked as the bus only runs about once an hour from Cagnes to the Musee Renoir and... More

Alovely peaceful garden.and museum.It was as if we were visitors back in time,olive trees which were there when Renoir was! Couldn't believe how laid back the place is considering the value of paintings there on view. Only noticed security when they were closing for the 2 hour lunch! Couldve sat in the garden all day,very romantic. Visiting on a short... More

From the house that Renoir built himself and spent the last years of his life in, there is a beautiful and familiar view... You can often recognise the landscapes from his work. There is a well-kept garden with trees being planted to reconstruct it as truly as possible, where a huge bank slopes away from you down to a stream... More

This was proably the single most charming site we visited on our recent trip to the Cote d'Azur. The home where Renoir spent his last 30 years has been preserved much as it was when he died in 1919. Particulary evocative is his studio, which is outfitted with his wheelchair placed in front of an easel. Several Renoir paintings and... More
