The ancient village of Mougins with it's picturesque stone villas and sweeping sea views attracted the admiring attentions of artists in much the same way as Saint Paul de Vence, Nice, Cagnes sur Mer and St Tropez did. It's most famous resident was undoubtedly Picasso who stayed for 15 years.
It has since become an elite, luxurious haven surrounded by golf courses, fine restaurants, magnificent villas and of course the unspoilt sea views. Mougins is a perfect holiday location if you are looking for space, privacy and natural beauty without the hustle and bustle of the streets of Cannes.
