Mougins frequented and inhabited by many artists and celebrities
Pablo Picasso spent the last 12 years of his life living in Mougins, where he died and lived in a farmhouse at Notre-Dame-de-Vie, which is a small hilltop just beside the old village of Mougins and next to the 12th-century chapel of the same name. Picasso’s studio was in the old village in a building that is now the tourist office, while the studio of Fernand Léger was above what is now the village wine shop, next to the rear of the Mougins Museum of Classical Art. It is worth to visit the art galleries and the restaurants in the picturesque village, housed in ancient buildings occasionally.
Romance certainly was born in France (and Italy). But there is also the fun side of people who evaluate the simple moments in life and celebrate life at every occasion.
