Where is the village of Mougins

By: Carlo Piccinelli

Mougins on Google Maps.
Mougins is the country of artists who find inspiration among the quiet alleys of the ancient medieval village and even Pablo Picasso the great Spanish painter opened a studio within the ancient walls (Picasso died in Mougins in 1973). Walking through the narrow alleys one is immersed in art among painters and sculptors that exhibiting their works in the street .The heart of the village is the Place du Commandant Lamy. In the square there are restaurants where you can taste typical dishes or to take a break at the bar after visiting the museums in the village such as that of photography or local art. A small ancient village but with many points of interest to see a stone's throw from Cannes. A trip for those interested in visiting the splendid villages of the French Riviera.
