Experiences
A walk in the footsteps of Bonnard
For a cultural walk, be sure to follow in Bonnard’s footsteps, an itinerary lasting between 1 and 2 hours (for the complete route) that takes you on a discovery of the works of the artist Pierre Bonnard and the landscapes that so inspired him, starting from the Musée Bonnard and the Hôtel de Ville. Soak up the artistic atmosphere of Le Cannet while enjoying the surrounding countryside.
You’ll discover the southern light that has shaped our artist.
Along the way, you’ll come across various leprechauns who will help you compare the landscape of today with that of Bonnard’s time. You’ll discover breathtaking panoramas of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding hills.
Walk along the Siagne Canal (covered)
How about a little height?
Discover the Canal de la Siagne (covered), a pleasant 1 hour walk that will take you to the heights of Le Cannet.
From the rue des Prés (near the Hôtel de Ville), first join the Vieux-Cannet and the rue Saint-Sauveur. From there, take the traverse Saint-Antoine, and follow the path. Although the climb can be a little steep at times, note that there is shade for most of the way and several watering holes for refreshment.
After the effort, the comfort… At the end of this climb, you won’t be disappointed that you were brave enough to do it! You’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking view, particularly from the Chichourliers belvedere. A panorama of the Grande Bleue, the Lérins Islands and the Esterel Massif. As you make your way back down to Place Leclerc, you’ll admire the magnificent Belle Epoque villas that complete your tour.
Walking trail in Vieux-Cannet
From the rue Cavasse to the rue Saint-Sauveur, around the bend of an alleyway or a little square, discover Vieux-Cannet! It’s a charming village with an authentic feel and a rich cultural, historical and artistic heritage.
A magnificent viewpoint awaits you on Place Bellevue, where you can even sip a cocktail with a sea view.

Gour de Coule, a wooded area to reconnect with nature
If you prefer a more rural atmosphere, head for Gour de Coule, a haven of peace where you can stroll through the greenery and enjoy the fresh air and peace and quiet.
Located in the Aubarède district, this wooded area covers more than 3 hectares. It’s the ideal place to take a break from nature, whether for a family picnic or a walk in the heart of the greenery.
