Not far from the Cannes, you’ll find the beautiful village of Mougins, sitting on top of a hill in the French Riviera. Charming and idyllic, the village has a medieval centre and is surrounded by woods and luxury golf courses. Glamorous, like the rest of the Cote d’Azur, Mougins has been attracting famous faces since the 1950s. Still an area for the elite, its also a favorite amongst expats thanks to the international Mougins School.
Mougins is an ideal place for foodies thanks to top notch restaurants and other gastronomic treats. While it’s considered casual by French Riviera standards, L’Amandier de Mougins is worth a visit. Located in an old mill, it has stunning views, chandeliers above, and a classic French menu.
Spend your day at the Royal Mougins Golf Club, which has a renowned 18-hole golf course, plus a luxury spa and resort hotel. There’s also the Mougins Museum of Classical Art or Les Jardins du MIP, the latter belonging to the Musée International de la Parfumerie in Grasse and with plants that are used in scent making.
