Since we've lived in Cagnes-sur-Mer for quite a few weeks now, we finally decided to explore the old town of Cagnes, called Haut-de-Cagnes. Founded in 1309 by Raynier Grimaldi (related to the Monaco Grimaldi's, in fact), it's actually a very nice little area, with its cobble-stone streets and pretty houses (classic Provence). Another interesting thing to mention about Cagnes (coming from a Finn), is that there is a very large Swedish-speaking minority there - even the lady at the tourist is Swedish (there is also a Swedish church).
