mougins and the french riviera

'Mougins is an enchanting medieval village on the French Riviera situated between the lower Alps and the Bay of Cannes. The village is a picturesque hilltop town surrounded by 15th century ramparts and a fortified gate. These stone walls preserved the village from devastation and destruction during the 16th century. From the 18th century on, Mougins flourished from the production of its olives and jasmine and crops of its vineyards and rose fields.

Pablo Picasso, Yves St. Laurent, Jean Cocteau, Isadora Duncan, Christian Dior, Winston Churchill and Catherine Deneuve all frequented the village.'

meandering alleys strung with lights and air filled with the fragrance of roses and herbs. a delicious steaming bouillabaise.
