|  ougins
is a superb medieval village with strong cultural connections
(Picasso
spent the last 15 years of his life here), sever celebrated
restaurants
and only 6km to the coastal resort of Cannes.
Indeed many believe
that if you only visit one place on the Riviera
you should make sure its Mougins!
Mougins
is a lovely town whose claim to fame is the restaurant
Le Moulin de Mougins owned by Chef Roger Verge. But
his restaurant is just one of many fabulous places to
dine. We don't think you can go wrong with any choice
you make.
This
is another in the picturesque series of Provencal villages
perched atop steep hills - but a fortified Saracen Gate
and 15th century ramparts set Mougins
in a class
by itself.
From
this particular pinnacle, you can see the deep gorges
of the Loup, the Grasse
countryside surrounding it and other nearby villages
glowing in the sunshine.
|
The
numerous small arts and crafts boutiques are hard to
resist... This small town Mougins
has more than 18 art studios and galleries.
Grasse
is the perfume making capital of France and this area
is where many of the flowers are grown that are later
distilled into the fragrances sold by the Haute Couturiers
in Paris.
Visit the old town and its charming fountains, St Jacques
le Majeur church the Chapelle St Barthélémy
and the automobile and photography museums.
Le
Moulin de Mougins
Experience the exquisite cuisine of celebrated chef
Roger Verge in the most picturesque setting of a former
mill.
During
the Cannes Film Festival,
international film stars always choose to dine at Le
Moulin de Mougins. In addition to a memorable
meal and rare wine, you may choose to enjoy one of 3
guestrooms or 4 suites available for guests - competition
for reservations is brisk.
