Mougins
- When people talk of Mougins, it is often to say how much they love it.
- They love it for its cultural heritage, its museums, its golfs, its many events, the balance between the wealth of its past
and the great promise of its future.
They love it for the pleasure of strolling through its streets and squares, the gastronomy of its restaurants, its art galleries.
They love it for its parks and gardens, its forest, its fitness track, its pond.
They love it for its sophisticated technology and its place in Sophia Antipolis, the International Science and Technology Park.
- Mougins has a cultural heritage well worth the visit : St-Jacques-le-Majeur church, Notre Dame de Vie chapel celebrated by a painter...
Winston CHURCHILL, the ancient St-Barthélemy chapel, with its very rare octagonal shape.
-
In the village, make sure you visit the Museum of Photography, where the finest contemporary photographers have immortalized Picasso.
You can then stop at the old wash-house, Le Lavoir, a veritable museum where artists from all horizons exhibit their works, as if they
wished to bestow on the city something of their soul. A little further on, you can smell the turpentine and see the paint brushes soaking
in jars on window sills.
-
Painting has found an ideal setting in Mougins. Picasso, Picabia and many others found their inspiration here. You will also find,
along the ancient alleys, small boutiques offering pottery, bouquets of dried flowers and herbs of Provence, a feast for the eyes and
all the senses.
-
Mougins will then have unveiled itself, gradually, as you stroll through the village, like a certain art of living.
