## Nice itinerary for 3 days

The first two days follow the 2-day itinerary: the centre on foot and the east coast by train. Day three takes the TER west: about 15 minutes to Cagnes-sur-Mer, 20–30 to Antibes. Start in Cagnes and go on to Antibes after lunch.

The Renoir Museum usually closes one day a week, and the Picasso Museum in Antibes on Mondays out of season, so check the hours before you go.

Remove any stop with ✕ or reorder it with ≡, and add another nearby: the timings update.

## Day three: Cagnes-sur-Mer and Antibes

In the morning, Les Collettes in Cagnes-sur-Mer, where Renoir spent his last eleven years: the studio with his easel and the olive grove. If you have the energy, climb up to medieval Haut-de-Cagnes.

After lunch, Antibes: the Provençal market, the promenade on the old walls, the Picasso Museum in Château Grimaldi and Port Vauban with its giant yachts. In the evening, swim on the sandy beaches of Juan-les-Pins.

## If you have more time

For a fourth day, the clifftop village of [Èze](https://yesgo.io/france/nice/eze) and [Menton](https://yesgo.io/france/nice/menton) on the Italian border, or the artists' village of [Saint-Paul-de-Vence](https://yesgo.io/france/nice/saint-paul-de-vence).
