Le Vieux Mougins: Best Pretty Little French Village Ever, So Far

It took us two tries to get to Mougins. The first was in our camper, but Mougins does not welcome camping-cars, nor buses, for parking, and so we retreated back to Cannes and more pedestrian undertakings there. Next day we took buses up to Mougins, one to Cannes and then one to Mougins, and that worked out. Well, there's an up-hill kilometer after the bus stop to the old village, but it wasn't bad, and quite scenic. If you go, which we recommend, take the bus, a car, or a taxi, or, preferably, a limousine or helicopter. It is a beautiful place, carefully vetted. Mostly we went to see the Musee d'Art Classique de Mougins, next post, but the old bastide village is a visit well worthy unto itself. A place never to be trampled by turbusses.

After the hike, the view to the Maritime Alps is great

All set for Halloween and proud of their work

In addition to the museum, there is an annual celebration of chefs

Another radial city! The Michelin Blimp was again available,
so we availed ourselves of this aerial view

Taste everywhere
