In 2023, the city of Cagnes-Sur-Mer and the Ascot Motel experienced an important milestone in their history! In September 2023, the city of Cagnes-Sur-Mer opened the flamboyant Mediterranean Park… in place of the old sewage treatment plant.
The sewage treatment plant gives way to nature
The essential water treatment plant that was located on the Cagnes-sur-Mer seaside has moved to the racecourse, leaving behind its old, dilapidated structures and noxious odors.
Cagnes-sur-Mer has recently offered its residents and visitors a brand new urban natural park that has taken the place of the former sewage treatment plant. A place where nature reigns with its scents and colors. Trees have replaced the concrete tanks. A new neighborhood and new natural panoramas emerge just steps away from the beaches of the French Riviera.
This ambitious project, situated on nearly 11,000 square meters of land, is part of the city’s ongoing commitment to environmental preservation and sustainable development.
A new park, a true gem of the region
The Mediterranean Park, located in Cagnes-sur-Mer in the Alpes-Maritimes, is a true gem of the region. This beautiful park offers an immersive experience in the heart of Mediterranean nature, where visitors and residents can enjoy an unparalleled space for relaxation and leisure. Open since the end of 2023, the park welcomes nature lovers, families seeking tranquility, and biodiversity enthusiasts. After several years of construction, this new park by the river and facing the sea has already become an essential spot for the local population and visitors alike.
Comprising lush gardens, shaded paths, and picturesque resting areas, the Mediterranean Park is a true sanctuary. Visitors can stroll among a wide variety of Mediterranean vegetation and rejuvenate in the fresh air just a stone’s throw away from the beaches of the French Riviera. A “lung of freshness,” as proudly declared by the Cagnes Town Hall, with trees suited to the European climate. Fig trees, pine trees, laurels, hackberries, only Mediterranean species to preserve biodiversity. No less than 120 trees have found their place in this new green space to make this new azure location a true green district.
A family relaxation spot
Child-friendly playgrounds set amidst nature create an ideal setting for family outings. Various educational spaces are spread throughout the park to raise awareness among the younger generation and their parents about the importance of Mediterranean biodiversity. Educational activities and specific facilities will turn this urban space into a place of learning and exploration for future generations.
The Ascot Motel, nestled between the sea and the park
For the past few months, the Ascot has enjoyed a privileged location just meters away from the new park. Visitors can now enjoy a 180-degree view of the sea and the new Mediterranean park. Between the sea and nature, guests of this historic establishment on the French Riviera can relax peacefully on their private terraces. Nature is also present within the motel, with its charming botanical garden. Upon arrival, guests find themselves in a haven of peace where the lawn area mingles with numerous fruit trees such as peach trees, cherry trees, or apricot trees. A small vegetable garden also delights the little ones who engage in the joy of picking fruits throughout the summer season.
