Mougins is a pleasant hillside village located a few kilometers inland from Cannes.

[edit] Get in

[edit] By car

From the A8 Junction 40 (Cannes), take the N85 penetrante signed for Grasse and Mougins. Take the first exit, turn left on the D3 (signed Mougins Centre), bear left at the roundabout after approx 1km and then turn left across the bridge over the penetrante. The road is narrow but theoretically two way to be careful of unexpected buses or trucks! Park in the free parking at the top of the hill - there are two or three separate parking places, if you decide to try for the one closest to the top do expect to have a job finding a space.

[edit] By bus

There is a frequent bus service between Grasse and Cannes which passes through Mougins. However the usual bus route does not go all the way to the top of the hill so you will have a nice climb to work up an appetite.

[edit] Get around

[edit][add listing] See

• The old town is picturesque and has striking views of the French Riviera.
• There is a market of traditional foodstuffs on Sundays and many of the stalls have free samples.
• The Museum of Photography.
• Various galleries in the town
• On the A8 between Cannes and Antibes is the Museum of Automobiles (also reachable taking the D35 from the penetrante and then the D135 towards Vallauris)

[edit][add listing] Do

On the D35 there are a number of places where you can hike in the forests. These are very pleasant trails. Unlike the ones between Valbonne and Biot there is no running water, however the park by Notre Dame de Vie - where Picasso spent his last years - has a very pretty pond which is the home to many ducks and other waterfowl.

Mougins has a number of Golf courses. If you are desperate for a round of Golf then try one of them.

[edit][add listing] Eat

Mougins has a number of excellent restaurants, at a variety of prices. In summer and at weekends reservations are a good idea as the ambiance is magnificent and popular. Le Bistro de Mougins is charming, has excellent food and is not too pricey, however it does not let you sit outside as some of the other do.

Moulin de Mougins down the hill by the exit from the penetrante. This restaurant once had three Michelin stars, it lost one when the chef changed, as a rule of michelin. Its a bit snobby (e.g. your car will be parked for you) but priced like other Michelin rated restaurants. The new chef is Allain Llorca who was chef at the Negresco before. They offer dejeuner menues where you can test them for a fixed amount. [1]

If you want to eat at a Michelin starred restaurant and don't like the snooty Cannes hotels then try the Bastide St Antoine in Grasse

Intimate elegance at this peaceful, romantic retreat in the hills of Mougins..

"It's lovely to find a small, unassuming but deeply charming hotel. Les Rosées is in fact nothing more than a B&B, with only three bedrooms, but it is divine. Daisies grow out of the walls, mulled wine brews by the kitchen door and home-made pickles sit in bottles on larder shelves. Each room has its own sitting area, flat-bottomed champagne flutes at the minibar and towelling robes with hoods. Breakfast is on the terrace: rose-petal jam, croissants and coffee in wildly expensive modern china. After shopping in Mougins, you can sit under the olive trees by the pool and eat biscotti while flicking through interiors magazines. It's not flashy but it has something much more unique: class."
