Local restaurants
Book a table at Mougins’ favourite: Le Petit Fouet. It’s a feast of beams, chandaliers, barmen crooning along to old French songs – and a real parrot that peers down at you while you eat. The walls are lined with irresistible confitures, candles and loose leaf teas to take home – and tables spill out onto a terrace. 8 Rue des Orfévres (+33 4 92 92 11 70). It’s also worth a trip next door to sample the foie gras at Resto des Arts – open from 19h until late (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays). Rue Maréchal Foch, 0625 Mougins. (+33 4 93 75 60 03). If it’s lunch you’re after, pop into Le Bistrot de Mougins by the water fountain. Bagsy a seat under the umbrellas outside – or for supper, nip down the steps into the restaurant cellar. Place du Village, 06250 Mougins (+33 4 93 75 78 34).
Nightlife
Sip a glass of sunset rosé and enjoy the incredible views from L’Abreuvoir Café 32 Place des Patriotes, Mougins 06250 (+33 4 93 90 03 05). If that’s full, pop next door for a capuccino and chocolate brownie at ivy-clad L’Amandier, or make a reservation for dinner – they’ll rustle you up a perfect parfait glacé Limonello (+33 4 93 90 0091). For a pre-supper tipple, perch at the bar of Restaurant la Mediterranee, then eat in the restaurant afterwards. They’re open for lunch 12h-14h30, and for dinner 19h–22h30 (closed on Wednesdays). Place de la Mairie, 06250 Mougins (+33 4 93 90 03 47).
Worth getting out of bed for
The Fragonard parfumerie in Grasse (a 20-minute drive) is worth a peek. They provide the toiletries in your room – and will create a bespoke perfume for you too. 20 Blvd Fragonard, 06130 Grasse (+33 4 93 36 44 65). Or, for
