MOUGINS

Luxury villas for sale in Mougins

Perched above Cannes, the fortified medieval village of Mougins offers a magnificent view over the Bay of Cannes and is just a 20-minute drive from the sandy beaches of La Croisette. Mougins is particularly easily accessible from everything the French Riviera has to offer: nearby villages, beaches, ski slopes in the Alps, Provence vineyards - all just 20 minutes by car from Nice International Airport (the second largest airport in France, after Paris).

The old village is alluring and charming with its cobbled pedestrian pathways, wonderfully colorful flower beds year-round, stunning old houses and villas, picturesque doors and window frames, and delightful touches wherever you look.

With the region's character and history carefully and delicately preserved, the famous quality of light that has captivated so many renowned artists over generations is still appreciated and remains an inspiration for today's artists. There are more than 20 active and vibrant art galleries in Mougins, and the list of past artists is impressive, including names such as Picasso, who lived here for 15 years, Jean Cocteau, Winston Churchill who painted the 12th-century chapel in the heart of the village, and many others. Past and present celebrities also appreciate Mougins - but the list of famous names is too long to include here. Its ties to the world of art, culture, and influential people who have shaped our world are omnipresent.

In the hills and valleys surrounding the old town, you will find luxurious properties nestled in wonderful Mediterranean gardens, and villas with sea views and a calm, alluring environment.

Although close to and easily accessible from Cannes, Antibes, Juan les Pins, and Nice, Mougins itself is situated in its own quiet, private world apart, which is mainly why luxury properties are so highly sought after here.
