Difficult though it was to tear ourselves away from the hotel, the
village of Mougins, just five minutes walk away, is well worth a visit.
At one time it was considered more important than nearby Cannes, and the surviving ramparts and Saracen Gate testify to its power in the Middle Ages.
Today, it is a fascinating mix of narrow streets and alleyways, art
galleries, cafes and restaurants to suit all pockets.
Picasso discovered Mougins in 1935 and moved to live there from 1961 to the end of his life.
While his former house cannot be visited, the free Musee de la
Photographie, in the village centre, features a whole floor of black and white photographs depicting the great man at work and play locally, providing a flavour of his time here.
Walking around the peaceful and unspoilt village it's easy to see what drew him and fellow artists like Man Ray to the area.
One of the most interesting art galleries is situated in Le Lavoir, an
old covered wash-house, allegedly still used by some "determined"
laundresses today.

Mougins is also an excellent base to explore the region, with Cannes
just 25 minutes away by bus; Nice a 30-minute drive, and the rest of the French Riviera nearby.
The area is ideal for gourmands and food and drink are sure to figure
large in any holiday here.
Le Mas Candille has its own Michelin-starred restaurant featuring panoramic views of the mountains.
On summer's evenings guests can dine al fresco while chef Serge
Gouloumes puts his culinary skills to use in producing a truly gourmet experience.
Our six-course dinner featured such delights as slender slices of
chicken braised with champagne and black summer truffles.
The meal was delicious and well complimented by the wines, chosen by the wine waiter to accompany each course.
