The museum should be interesting but the lack of available information of you don’t take a guided tours makes it hard to appreciate. Also the opening hours and rules are not clear in advance nor well posted. The main house closes for lunch, so even though they’ll sell you tickets until 12:30 they start chasing you out at 12:45. We presented at the ticket counter with a baby and small stroller and rhe very friendly ticket girl offered to open the doors to make it easier for us. However once inside the house the guards hassled is about the stroller and said we couldn’t bring it through the galleries, claiming it would damage the floors… however nothing was posted anywhere forbidding strollers and all the floors had been replaced. I doubt they would refuse women wearing high heels to enter? That would be far more damaging… so we carried her though all the rooms snd left the stroller by the elevator. Worse, on the next level the other guard tried to say we couldn’t even leave the stroller by the elevator! So with so little time inside, we spent half of it in discussion with the guards who then chased us out anyway. All in all, a very unpleasant experience. Very disappointing since I have studied Renoir my whole life and wanted to share this special artist with my daughter.

During our first holiday on the Côte d'Azur, my wife and I definitely wanted to see Renoir's house and its history. Above the estate, a very nicely decorated house and a beautifully presented life of the artist himself, impressed us. Which I could not stop observing and photographing.

Small but beautiful little museum dedicated to Renoir. Wonderful to see his actual studio and chair where he worked. The gardens are well kept and would be a lovely place to spend an afternoon with family.

Beautiful mansion and the olive grove garden…. You will also see quite a few of his art works on loan from Musée d’Orsay. Though it seems that artist enjoyed living here, it is a little bit sad to imagine how he suffered his last years … I didn’t know that Renoir’s hands’ condition was so severe, but he continued to work …

Beautiful, peaceful villa and Renoir's museum. Short film by son Jean Renoir and the villa itself with 14 small paintings, his wheelchair and painting tools as well as some furnishings. The grounds were beautiful and quiet. A bit of a trek to find it.

Very impressed by the museum. First of all you can buy a combined ticket for the museum and the Grimaldi castle for 8 euros / per. Then I do recommend taking an excursion in the museum for another 3 euros per person. It’s a 1.5 hours guided tour. I’m amazed by the quality and inspiration of the guide. I could deep into the story of the Renoir art and his family. There is also a nice shop with some materials in English and other languages. Very good 2 hours of visiting this place. So glad to see the masterpieces of a true genius.

Less than 20 minutes from Nice (closer to 15 in fact) this was the last home of Renoir before passing away. The small estate is beautiful and well kept, typical of a Provencal French property. It is nice to visit a turn of the 20th century home as well as a number of Renoir's paintings as well as his sculptor collaborator Richard Guino. Unfortunately there are only a small number of paintings so it is a bit limiting...but still a worth while visit for fans of Renoir. In the basement of his home, a short film plays recording the recollections of Richard Guino and Renoir's young nude model at the time. It was a very interesting snap shot into his history.

This year the Renoir Museum is celebrating the 100th Anniversary of August Renoir (1841-1919). The artist settled down in the Domaine des Collettes in Cagnes-sur-Mer with his wife Aline and their three sons. The house he had build has a wonderful large studio facing the garden. The collection on display has 14 original paintings and 30 sculpture. After the renovation works in 2013, new areas were open to the visitors and 17 plaster sculptures presented by the Renoir and Guini families, as well as two original paintings were added to display along with personal papers. Exceptional Art Experience, just not that they are closed at noon between 12pm and 2pm.

This place has definitely some energy from the big artist Renoir. You feel the quietness and inspiration he had at this place. The olive trees are so old and it’s amazing to realize that the same trees you see was seeing by the greatest Renoir. I fell in love with the house and property. You should not expect Louvre with its painting’s gallery. It’s more about the house and around it. The market garden is very cute!

Small but great little adventure. You can actually see Renoir's home and some of his original paintings. The lady at the front gave the kids an interactive tablet that kept the kids entertained at the museum. Don't forget to stroll through the gardens.

(Translated by Google) Today, exactly 100 years ago, the great Impressionist painter Auguste Renoir died in this house that had been built in Cagnes-sur-Mer. Now converted into a museum, it largely preserves the furniture and some of the works he painted there in the last years of his life affected by osteoarthritis. And it also preserves a magnificent garden with sculptures and ancient olive trees that he painted and that still last both in art and in life. Jean Renoir, the painter's son and renowned filmmaker, is the one who has most contributed to making the atmosphere of the house known during his childhood and youth. And he even shot some scenes from a 1959 film: "le déjeuner sur l'herbe" What I have remembered today of the ephemeris must also have to do with the feeling of gratitude towards paternal love and it is that today also marks 35 years since the death of my father (Original) Avui fa exactament 100 anys que en aquesta casa que s'havia fet construir a Cagnes-sur-Mer hi va morir el gran pintor impressionista Auguste Renoir. Convertida ara en museu, conserva en bona mesura el mobiliari i algunes de les obres que hi va pintar els darrers anys de la seva vida afectat com estava d'artrosi. I conserva també un magnífic jardí amb escultures i oliveres mil·lenàries que va pintar i que perduren encara tant en l'art com en la vida. Jean Renoir, fill del pintor i reconegut cineasta, és qui més ha contribuït a fer conèixer l'ambient que bategava a la casa a l'època de la seva infantesa i joventut. I fins i tot hi va rodar algunes escenes d'un film de 1959: "le déjeuner sur l'herbe" Que jo m'hagi recordat avui de l'efemèride deu tenir a veure també amb el sentiment de gratitud envers l'amor patern i és que avui també fa 35 anys de la mort del meu pare

Very idyllic place with atmosphere and a beautiful view of the sea. You can buy a double ticket for this museum and fortress,it'll be cheaper.

This alone is worth visiting Cagnes-sur-Mer for, for an art lover. Great museum, well presented. Most likely this is the closest you will ever get to a Renoir painting.

Situated in a quite residential area, Renoir's residence is well proportioned and impressive. Surrounded by mature olive and citrus groves, it's elevation commands great views down to the Mediterranean.

It is not a huge museum. It does have a great sense of time and place. You can picture Renoir sitting, looking and working his magic on canvas. The setting of the museum is spectacular. The garden is beautiful. The view is magnificent. It is easy to understand why Renoir picked this place. While the museum is not packed with paintings, the works present do augment the experience. Kudos to the Musee D'Orsay for lending some works to this small museum. Although Renoir died here, this place is not a place of mourning. It is a celebration of a life well lived. My visit here was well worth it and I am glad I had a chance to walk in his footsteps.

Relatively limited collection and rather old fashioned setting and exhibitions. Only food option is a vending machine.

(Translated by Google) I loved. Truly, a family home to visit as well as the beautiful gardens. Do not hesitate to ask for explanations from the young girls who guide the visit. They are very kind. Very good memories of this visit. I encourage you to do so. (Original) J ai adoré. Vraiment, une maison de famille à visiter ainsi que les jardins magnifiques. Ne pas hésiter à demander des explications aux jeunes filles qui orientent la visite. Elles sont très aimables. De très bons souvenirs de cette visite. Je vous encourage à la faire.

Adorable Provençal style mansion with a terrific garden, very quiet and peaceful, lovely collection of Renoir and students.

Super schönes Haus: Man sieht Renoir förmlich vor sich, wie er malt. Der Ausblick im und aus dem Garten lädt zum Malen ein. Es gibt große Sitzkissen im Garten und man kann den Tag dort verbringen. Weniger sind Werke von Renoir dafür von anderen Künstlern auch von seinem Haus, Garten und ihm (und auch über die Künstlerfamilie mit vielen Talenten), Skulpturen zusammen mit anderen Künstlern vollbracht, da Renoir in seinen letzten Jahren durch ein Gelenkleiden in den Fingern selbst wenig malen konnte (ihm wurde die Pinsel zum Malen angebunden.) Es ist in der Form das schönste Museum als Eigenheim, das ich je gesehen habe mit kleinen überaschenden Details zum Entdecken ❤️

Sehr schönes Museum mit freundlichem Personal. Vor allem der Garten ist sehenswert. Eintritt ist als Student gratis.

(Translated by Google) It deserves, free on the first Sunday of the month (Original) Merita, gratuito la prima domenica del mese

It’s a lovely setting, but I thought it lacked the passion of this wonderful artist.

It has almost no paintings by him, and very few personal items. Looks like everything has been rented out to museums. The house is lovely and beautiful but it hasn’t been managed well. The screens for the documentaries are very small. I was so looking forward to see it!

An oasis on the hilltop away from the bustling town. A delightful walk through the home and atelier of this great artist. A must for art lovers.

Beautiful and interesting place. They should add an audio-guide or more signs with text explaining the history etc. in the main building. Especially for everyone who cannot join the guided tour.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum. It is Renoir's last residence, very interesting, with some of his works. And in the olive grove some places where he painted. Little did we know that his sons were also known, one as a director, the other as a potter. (Original) Prettig museum. Het is het laatste woonhuis van Renoir, heel interessant, met enkele van zijn werken. En in de olijfboomgaard enkele plaatsen waar hij heeft geschilderd. Wij wisten niet dat zijn zoons ook bekend waren, de een als regisseur, de ander als pottenbakker.

Renoir Museum where he lived has such a nice garden and stunning view. Even though you can not see many of his artworks, it is definitely worth it to visit to feel trace of his life. If you visit in a sunny day, just sitting on the bench in his garden makes you calm. It is located bit far away from nice city Centre but near the museum you can find a huge shopping mall called cap 3000 where you can have some food or do shopping. But don’t expect food quality. They are typical shopping mall restaurants.

(Translated by Google) Very nice home. Interesting if you are interested in the "life" of Renoir when he lived in this house. But don't expect a plethora of paintings from the artist. Very large garden maintained with care. (Original) Très bon accueil. Intéressant si vous vous intéressez à la "vie" de Renoir du temps où il habitait cette maison. Mais ne vous attendez pas à une multitude de peintures de l'artiste. Tres grand Jardin entretenu avec soin.

Inspiring gorgeous garden, but for there was not enough ART of famous Renoir. Still recommend to visit. The entrance is free for people under 26 :)

We’re happy to visit a house of an impeccable artist. The garden is cozy and the view is really nice.

(Translated by Google) Very nice garden and essential and very interesting guided tour (Original) Tres beau jardin et visite guidée indispensable et très intéressante

(Translated by Google) A magnificent place: the museum and the garden which tell the story of Renoir and help to understand his life and his works. (Original) Un lieu magnifique : le musée et le jardin qui racontent l'histoire de Renoir et aident à comprendre sa vie et ses oeuvres.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful site (Original) Beau site

(Translated by Google) superb museum, you feel the soul of this fabulous artist. (Original) superbe musée, on ressent l'âme de ce fabuleux artiste.

Quite disappointing. Having so many great museums around this one is nothing special. I know, there are places that this Renoir mansion would be a marvel. Not in Cote d'azur. There are few Renoir paintings here and a vast garden. The mansion itself is almost empty. I will never think of coming back here again.

A nice museum with few works of art but worth it since you discover where the painter lived and his history. Be careful with the hours on Google, they actually close between 12 and 2pm which is not mentioned on their website. Special fares (free in fact) for people living in Cagnes. Nice garden, nice view. They should provide a paper with g the highlights, you might miss the nice statue in front of the house and some details in the rooms.

Interesting to see the place where Renoir spent his last 12 years of his life. There are some paintings, and others made by his friend, also you can watch some videos and information. Incredible sea sight and surroundings area.

A bit of overhyped, only a small portion of his paintings and not many statues, but if you are a fan then prices were low and children under 26 were free so not too much trouble going there at all. Would recommend.

Today and tomorrow (9 june) free!. Gardens spacious with lots of shade from various trees. Food and drink only via vending machines. Number of original paintings and some from people who worked with renoir.

Wonderful museum in Cagnes sur Mer, home of the famous impressionist, Renoir.

If you are nearby, than you should visit this place. It was very interesting visit, we learned something new about Renoir and his life at this farm. It offers nice view at coastline from the villa and also offers beautiful surroundings.

Just absolutely wonderful lieu to visit and enjoy and relax. Bring a picnic lunch and blanket... you can literally sit on the lawn where Renoir did his paintings, and drink-in the beautiful provencal countryside whilst enjoying the particular odors and vegitation of the south of France. This is a jewel.

The museum doesn't offer any booklets, maps, or audio guides. The annotations to the painting or pictures are only in French and also are very short and not extremely informative. The museum is open till 17.45 but the staff asked us to leave the villa at 17.30. However, they let us walk around the garden, thanks for that.

(Translated by Google) The place is so exceptional that one can only develop an artist's soul there, the orange trees, the olive trees bring a real charm to the paintings of the painter. (Original) Le lieu est si exceptionnel que l'on ne peut qu'y développer une âme d'artiste, les orangers, les oliviers apporte un vrai charme aux tableaux du peintre.

Beautiful house in gorgeous gardens. Still holds the serene energy of the original owner.

(Translated by Google) It is the house where Renoir lived the last years of his life. There are works by various artists in addition to those by Renoir. The section dedicated to sculptures is very interesting (Original) È la casa nella quale visse Renoir gli ultimi anni di vita. Vi sono opere di vari artisti oltre a quelle di Renoir . Molto interessante la sezione dedicata alle sculture

(Translated by Google) Not bad at all but a bit monotonous (Original) Pas mal du tout mais un peu monotone

(Translated by Google) Very good (Original) Très bien

(Translated by Google) Impressive museum It was renoir's house (Original) Musée impressionnant C était la maison de renoir

If you love painting.. this is another place to check out!

More original paintings of Renoir would have enhanced the visit. Still worth a trip though.

I really enjoyed seeing where Renoir spent his later years. There is a fair collection of some of his paintings, but what intrigued me the most was seeing his living quarters. The pictures of his hands revealed how badly damaged they were from arthritis. It is amazing what he was able to paint in his condition. His main painting studio and his petit studio had the furniture he used when he was alive. It included his wheel chairs and painting easels. There were photos of his guests including Matisse and Cezzanne visitting him at his home. There was the dining table where they all sat in the photos. It felt like his spirit was still in the house. He continued to do what he loved even with a terrible dabilitating condition up until his death. He died in 1919 which was exactly 100 years ago.

Beautiful garden on the way up and around the house. Beautiful paintings , ceramics, sculptures.The house has an amazing atmosphere.

Really worth it. Really recommended

I love this house-museum. Staff is friendly and the ticket is a bargain. If you're under 26 you get in for free. Bring a book and enjoy the nature and olive trees shadows. You won't regret it.

Beautiful experience. For 6 eur entrance fee per person, it's worth of taking a glimpse into this artist's life.

Very nice, it closes for lunch at 13:00 and opens again at 14:00. Keep that in mind when planning your visit.

(Translated by Google) A house museum where you must definitely pay a visit, also for the beauty of the landscape and the garden. The house of Renoir dive lived some periods of his life and painted some pictures. Arranged on two floors it contains some of his very beautiful paintings. They also recreated the room where he painted. In the garden you can visit Renoir's atelier, which has been rebuilt in recent times. (Original) Una casa museo in cui sicuramente bisogna fare una visita, anche per la bellezza del paesaggio e del giardino. La casa di Renoir dive visse alcuni periodi della sua vita e dipinse alcuni quadri. Disposta su due piani contiene alcuni suoi quadri molto belli. Inoltre hanno ricreato la cameretta dove lui dipingeva. Nel giardino si può visitare a poca distanza l'atelier di Renoir ricostruito in tempi recenti.

(Translated by Google) Superb! (Original) Superbe !

The garden of the museum is beautiful. I also enjoyed the authenticity of the visit since we could go to almost all the rooms in the house. However, the collection is rather small

(Translated by Google) Brilliant (Original) Genial

(Translated by Google) Very nice, a superb park and a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. Very bucolic. (Original) Très sympa, un superbe parc et un bel endroit pour passer une après midi. Très bucolique.

(Translated by Google) Renoir's soul still hovered over these places (Original) L'âme de Renoir planait encore sur ces lieux

(Translated by Google) Since it is a compact museum, you can go around it in 1 to 2 hours. I felt that this beautiful scenery helped Renoir to draw pictures in gentle colors while suffering from rheumatism and painful feelings. (Original) コンパクトな美術館なので1〜2時間で回ることが出来ます。ルノワールがリウマチを患い痛い想いをしながらも、優しい色彩の絵を描けたのは、この美しい景色が手助けしてくれたのだろうと感じました。

(Translated by Google) Well, we learn a lot of anecdotes about Renoir's life. Too bad there are no real paintings by the master. We know that hyper protection would have been needed for that. Distancing and wearing the mask well respected (Original) Bien, on y apprend pas mal d anecdotes sur la vie de Renoir. Dommage qu il n y ait pas de véritables toiles du maître.

(Translated by Google) Museum perched in Cagnes sur Mer. This museum immerses us in the life of the Master. (Original) Musée perché à Cagnes sur Mer. Ce musée nous plonge dans la vie du Maître.

A little glimpse of old Provence

(Translated by Google) The museum is fine, but access outside of the car is a disaster. No bicycle parking, I decide to go there on foot and I thought I was crushed to death. Do not take the Chemin des Collettes from the start. Take the Auguste Renoir passage (which I did not see) or the Auguste Renoir path for a little more relative safety. A pedestrian markup would be a good idea if there is no sidewalk. (Original) Le musée est bien, mais l'accès en dehors de la voiture est une catastrophe. Pas de parking vélo, je décide d'y aller à pied et j'ai cru mourir écrasé. Ne surtout pas prendre le chemin des Collettes depuis le début. Prendre le passage Auguste Renoir (que je n'ai pas vu) ou le chemin Auguste Renoir pour un peu plus de sécurité toute relative. Un balisage piéton serait une bonne idée à défaut de trottoir.

(Translated by Google) Very pretty place with garden planted with hundred-year-old olive trees! Splendid view of the historic village of Cagnes sur Mer. Fairly brief museum and a pity that the guided tours do not take place every day. It is for this reason that I gave 4 stars and not 5! (Original) Très joli lieu avec jardin planté d oliviers centenaires ! Vue splendide sur le village historique de Cagnes sur Mer. Musée assez succinct et dommage que les visites guidées n aient pas lieues tous les jours, C est pour cette raison que j ai mis 4 étoiles et pas 5 !

(Translated by Google) Beautiful view and huge house remained as it is.Renoir's paintings on site can be counted from the fingers of one hand ... (Original) Belle vue et immense maison restée en l'état.Les peintures de Renoir sur place se comptent ds les doigts d'une main...
