A century-old fisherman’s house: A property steeped in history, facing the Mediterranean

A true piece of Cannes’ heritage is now available to lovers of authentic places. In the south of the city, in the sought-after Pointe Croisette district, a fully renovated former fisherman’s house is being offered for sale by Côte d’Azur Sotheby’s International Realty – Cannes. A rare vestige of the city’s maritime past, this property bridges the gap between old Cannes – of nets and fishing boats – and today’s glamorous, international destination.

Built between 1912 and 1915, the house is one of the few remaining examples of a group of fisherman’s homes originally constructed just steps from the sea, most of which have since been replaced by modern buildings. Lovingly restored, it offers around 186 sqm of living space across three levels. With direct access to a 100 sqm landscaped courtyard featuring a fountain, it is a true oasis of calm in the heart of the city.

Just a stone’s throw from the legendary Palm Beach – made famous in the film Mélodie en sous-sol starring Jean Gabin and Alain Delon – the home enjoys an exceptional location, close to the beach, Mouré Rouge port, shops, and the lively spirit of Cannes.

Listed at €2.77 million, this rare property combines historical charm, contemporary finishes, and the relaxed lifestyle of the Mediterranean coast. Ideal as a main residence or a refined second home.
