Mougins

Mougins is a beautiful place to visit on the Cote d'Azur, a pretty medieval village only a 15 minutes drive from Cannes, and 25 minutes from the international Nice airport.  The village is surrounded by forests, such as the Valmasque, enhancing the environment in the village and adding to its reputation as an utterly picturesque and charming village.  The scenery, colour and light quality have attracted many artists and celebrities to the village such as Picasso, Cocteau, Winston Churchill and Christian Dior, as well as many others.  Picasso spent the last 15 years of his life living in Mougins, and the Museum of Photography in Mougins has an interesting permanent collection of photographic portraits of Picasso.  The many studios and art galleries in Mougins make the village a interesting place to visit, with its relaxing atmosphere and spectacular scenery.



The town has a large number of excellent gastronomic restaurants.  Many are in the centre of the village, with others are scattered about, most famous perhaps being the Moulin de Mougins.

Although the area is known for being full of large super expensive villas, you can find plenty of more reasonably priced properties if you are prepared to spend a little time looking, and might also want to look a little further towards some of the surrounding hill-towns.
