The breathtaking city of Mougins

Olive groves, cypress trees, and lush green forests characterize the commune of Mougins. This little town sits in the district of Grasse in the wider Cannes region and is as pretty as they come. As far as medieval villages go, Mougins has it all, including the desirable hilltop location and ancient houses. The town has seen its fair share of historical celebrities too. Picasso, Cocteau, and Paul Eluard have all graced Mougins with their presence. Today the area draws travelers from the heart of Cannes out into the countryside to enjoy a taste of rural France.

The Authentic Villages of the La Roya Valley

La Roya Valley is a spectacular valley that runs from the town of Tende on the French-Italian border right down to the coast before winding back into the Italian countryside. Vallee de la Roya covers over 40 kilometers of ground and winds its way through beautiful countryside, remote farmland, and the mighty Southern Alps. The valley isn’t just a place of outstanding beauty, home to traditional French settlements and small authentic villages, it’s also a region of France that’s bursting with history and was once occupied by Italy during WWI. Fun fact - the valley only became a part of France in 1947 and today a segment of it still belongs to the Italians.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to the French Riviera. Côme was accommodating, professional, and fun. He took us from Cannes to Monaco, showing us every bay, town, and landmark in between.
