and all the pretty houses

With the imprint of the past subtly conserved, the harmony of the colours and quality of light has seduced many artists and celebrities who have chosen to stay in Mougins, including Picasso (who spent the last 15 years of his life here), Cocteau, Fernand Léger, Paul Eluard, Man Ray, Winston Churchill, Christian Dior, Catherine Deneuve, Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel.. amongst others.

Mougins is without doubt one of the most wonderful places to visit on the Côte d'Azur. This superb medieval village is set amongst pines, olives and cyprus trees. Surrounded by forests (the Valmasque forest) Mougins has kept the quality of its environment intact, and offers visitors, from the height of 260 metres, a panoramic view of the "baie de Cannes", the Lérins islands, Grasse and the "Préalpes".
