The beautiful, picturesque medieval city of Mougins spreads out above Cannes Bay in the shadow of the mountains. Higher in the hills, the air is sweetened with the scent of lavender fields, and the city is full of orchards and flower gardens. It is this variety that probably has given birth to the Mougins “art of fragrance” – perfume making based on the natural scents of fruits, flowers and leaves. Masterpieces of this art can be found in special shops in the streets of Mougins.
Masterpieces of another kind were presented to Mougins by its famous inhabitants. It was here that Pablo Picasso lived and worked. It was here that he died; and one cannot think of a better place for the peaceful rest of the great artist.
The brightness of the landscapes, colored stripes of fields, the azure of the sea and deep blueness of eternally clear skies have all been reflected in the works of the impressionist and become understandable and dear to anyone who visits Mougins.
Now back to the masterpieces. It is in Mougins where an annual gastronomic festival is held. There is no need to explain what French cuisine is. Thus, the finest creations of sophisticated culinary artists (not only from France but from around the world) are gathered in one place – at the autumn festival Les Étoiles de Mougin (Stars of Mougin). Taste, have a look and learn how to do it yourself, take part in competitions or a grand gala dinner – it just cannot be missed!
The town offers a magnificent view of the Riviera, and the blue sea and spotless beaches call you to come down to them. As one of the world’s best resorts, Mougins is a perfect place for both rest and treatment. Those who like outdoor activities will love it – just take a walk down to the sea, with its white-sailed yachts, diving, parasailing and many golf courses surrounding Mougins.
The lifestyle here is very much like the climate: leisurely and balanced, “savory” like the local dishes at the Moulin restaurant, bright as the sun above the bay. Friendly inhabitants greeting visitors like natives, long-standing resort traditions connecting European countries with the Côte d’Azur and a European level of shopping, service and attitude to the town and nature all make living in Mougins extremely comfortable.
A cosy paradise, Mougins can charm anyone. And the city does it quite unobtrusively, like a genuine masterpiece.
