Heritage
A legacy of art and gastronomy
Mougins has a particular place in the history of modern art. Pablo Picasso settled in the village in 1961 and spent the last twelve years of his life at Notre-Dame-de-Vie, still working at a great pace. His presence drew artists, collectors and intellectuals from around the world. His studio and house remain landmarks, and they still shape how the town sees itself.
Mougins is equally well known for its food. In 1969 chef Roger Vergé opened Le Moulin de Mougins, which went on to earn three Michelin stars and made the village’s culinary name. Mougins has kept a strong restaurant scene, with tables listed in the Michelin Guide. It still draws travellers who plan a trip around a table, and residents who moved here for the same reason.
The village’s recorded history goes back to the 11th century, when the Count of Antibes gave it to Lérins Abbey. Its medieval fabric has been carefully preserved, and Mougins holds the "Ville et Métiers d’Art" craft label. In June 2024 the FAMM (Femmes Artistes du Musée de Mougins) opened in the former Musée d’Art Classique: a museum devoted to women artists, from the late 19th century to today.
