ABOUT MOUGINS AND OUR LUXURY REAL ESTATE FOR SALE

Sitting high in the hills of the French Riviera, the village of Mougins is so picture perfect it looks like it could have come from straight out of the pages of a fairy tale. Dating back to the days of the Roman Empire, Mougins came into its own in the 1920’s when it was discovered by surrealist painter Francis Picabia, who fell in love with the old town and the idyllic countryside surrounding the village. Picabia invited his friends to visit him on the French Riviera and suddenly Mougins became the summer destination of choice for artists such as Picasso and Man Ray. Word soon spread about the beautiful little village in the hills, and well-known figures such as Christian Dior, Edith Piaf and Yves Saint Laurent all called Mougins home at one point or another. Since the 1920’s, the Medieval village has become one of the loveliest places to live in the South of France, thanks to its outstanding restaurant scene, vibrant social life and strong connection to the arts. Visitors to Mougins have been enchanted by the golden sunlight and gorgeous views over the Mediterranean for years, and now it’s your turn to discover this hidden gem in the French Riviera countryside.

Thanks to its sheltered position on the hillside, Mougins has the perfect climate all year round. Summers in the village are long and hot, but the streets of the old town are shady and inviting, just right for exploring with an ice-cream or cold drink. Winters here are sunny and mild, and the flowers in the window boxes and hanging baskets all over the village are pretty much always in bloom, earning Mougins the nickname of ‘Garden-city’ amongst the locals! The old village couldn’t be more charming, the circular streets wind around the Medieval walls in the shape of a snail, and there is a picturesque fountain on nearly every corner. Even a quick stroll to buy the bread in the morning will lead you past historical monuments and pretty stone chapels, so it’s easy to see why Mougins is so beloved by painters and sculptors.There are art galleries and museums scattered all over the village, ideal for picking up some contemporary art for your new French home. And shopping fans will love the selection of exclusive stores in the old town plus the modern shopping centre in Tournamy Les Oliviers between Mougins and Sophia Antipolis. Thanks to its status as the capital of gastronomy, the streets of Mougins are bursting with excellent restaurants and eating out is practically compulsory once you live here. Food is big business in Mougins, so prepare to enjoy some of the best cooking in France, the village might be small, but Mougins has a big culinary reputation to maintain and a record number of Michelin stars to its name.

Ideally placed on the French Riviera,  Mougins is just a short drive away from glamorous Monaco, Cannes and Antibes.

Or hop over the border to Italy to enjoy a little dolce vita just an hour away from Mougins. Your daily cappuccino and gelato have never tasted so good. In winter, make the most of living next door to the Southern Alps and head up to the mountains to ski some of the best pistes in France in local stations like Auron, Isola 2000 and Limone.
