About Mougins

Located between Cannes and Grasse, in the Alpes-Maritimes department, the commune of Mougins takes place only a few kilometres from the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Crossed by the famous Napoleon Road, which links Cannes to Grenoble, it is one of the five cities that created Sophia-Antipolis with Antibes, Vallauris, Valbonne and Biot. 

Since its origins, the city of Mougins has an agricultural vocation. Village since the Middle Ages, she is known especially for her jasmine productions used in neighbouring perfumeries. It was not until the 20th century that the commune became a centre of tourism in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-D’azur region. A city of luxury and prestige, it is now divided into several districts, such as the old medieval village or the modern city.
