Places to see in ( Mougins - France )
Mougins is a hilltop village situated a few kilometres inland from Cannes in the direction of Grasse, in the Alpes-Maritimes department of Provence, one of many picturesque medieval perched villages that are found all across Provence. The village has a historic centre that is very pleasant to explore with narrow cobbled alleys to stroll along, heading off from the village centre and its central fountain. You will discover various other fountains and statues as you explore Mougins, and numerous other small architectural highlights, both remnants from the past and more modern creations.
The village has given a high priority to greenery, and there are many flowers, trees and pretty garden areas, all adding further to the charm and helping Mougins blend into the countryside. Indeed the combination of narrow streets along with the explosion of pots of plants and art galleries spreading into the alleys means you are sometimes positively hemmed in!
The views from the village across this surrounding countryside and out across Cannes Bay are as impressive as the village itself. Visit the table d'orientation in the village to help you appreciate how much you can see from here. There are also many art galleries and restaurants and cafes in the town. Perhaps even more than most of the perched villages of Provence, Mougins attracts the rich and famous who live hidden in the surrounding hills, and as a result the town is well known for its very impressive selection of high quality restaurants.
Outside the circular spiral of streets that comprise Mougins old town there are broader streets containing cafes etc and views across the countryside to the Mediterranean. The principal historic monuments in Mougins are the small chapels, such as the Chapel Notre-Dame-de-Vie, built in the 16th century in the site of an ancient temple, and the Chapel Saint-Bartholomew, a small 10th century chapel which is unusual because it is octagonal.
In the heart of Mougins you should visit the Museum of Classical Art at 32, Rue Commandeur. This exceptional museum combines sculptures and artefacts from classical times with paintings and other artworks from modern times by artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Rodin and Damien Hirst that were influenced by the classical arts. Entrance 12 euros.
Part of the reason why Mougins is so focussed on art is that Picasso spent the last years of his life (from 1961-1973) living just across the valley from Mougins, next to the Chapel Notre-Dame-de-Vie, and many other famous artists (and non-artists) have had homes here. Be sure to visit the Chapel - it's in a very attractive setting surrounded by the 'trademark' cypress trees of Provence.
There is also a popular Photography Museum featuring photos of Picasso taken by André Villers (official photographer to Picasso) among others.
The surrounding forests and countryside, called the Valmasque Park, has several marked walks and trails and is a lovely way to escape the crowds in Mougins. The nature trail and observation point on the étang de Fontmerle lake in Valmasque are very popular with bird enthusiasts.
( Mougins - France ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Mougins . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Mougins - France

Provence Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Provence in France.
Marseille is the most important city in Provence.and is situated on the south coast of France.From a distance, one of Marseille’s main landmarks rises high above the harbour: the seafarers’ church of Notre-Dame-De-La-Garde. With abundant internal furnishings, Byzantine arches, golden mosaics and numerous votives it is a splendid structure inspired by Byzantine Romanic design. The most impressive religious building in Marseille is a fortified monastery church that dates back to the 5th century, the mighty Abbaye Saint Victor. Deep down in the rock is an Early Christian crypt and a number of stone sarcophaguses that contain the remains of various holy martyrs that date back to the Roman persecution of the Christians. A boat trip from Cassis leads to one of the most beautiful coastal areas in Europe, Les Calanques, a unique nature reserve where shining white limestone cliffs plunge more than four hundred metres into the deep blue sea and extend for twenty kilometres. Sur Le Pont D’Avignon is a world famous French song that is familiar to both young and old alike. It is a song of dance on the bridge of the Pont Saint Bénézet but it is more likely that the people here once danced under the bridge, as that is the location of its bars! A place of radiant light and sweet aromas with villages that nestle in the rocks like eagles’nests and with cities that have an historic past. Provence is indeed a captivating land full of fascinating contrasts.

Three villages to visit near Nice
Côte d'Azur is the French coastline that has up to 330 days of sunshine pear year. Realtor Johan Wretman knows it like the back of his hand and reveals what villages he thinks you should visit when going to the French Riviera.
MOUGINS Village - Southern France
Mougins Village is one of the most artistic places I have visited in Europe. Located just a short distance from Cannes (the annual film festival city) in the district of Grasse (known for its perfumery industry), this small hilltop village of about 20,000 inhabitants has many arts galleries and even a museum. Sculptures can be found on many streets, parks, corners and buildings.
Many famous artists have lived in this place in recent past including Pablo Picasso who spent 12yrs of his life living in Mougins. Due to its proximity to Cannes (and also Nice) Mougins was also frequented by many celebrities during the annual film festival.
This is also a place for fine dining with many good restaurants including Michelin-starred. The annual International Gastronomy Festival of Mougins is held every September.

With its azure waters, clear blue skies, and sunshine — Nice on the French Riviera is a place that you would want to come back to again and again. It is no surprise that for hundreds of years it has been a vacation spot of choice for European royalty and aristocrats. The climate in Nice is mild and this city has everything — mountains, gardens, and stunning blue waters, which inspired painters for years. The city is steeped in history, and as you take a stroll you can find streets frozen in time next to modern chic cafes and bustling markets.
