Côte D'azur (east), France[view map]
Local restaurants
Book a table at Le Petit Fouet, at 12 place du Village (+33 (0)4 92 92 11 70). It’s a melange of beams, chandeliers, barmen crooning along to old French songs – and a 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. Take a trip next door to sample the foie gras at Resto des Arts, at Rue du Maréchal Foch (+33 (0)4 93 75 60 03), open from 7pm until late (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays). If it’s lunch you’re after, pop into Le Bistrot de Mougins by the water fountain, in Place du Village (+33 (0)4 93 75 78 34). Bagsy a seat under the umbrellas outside – or for supper, nip down the steps into the cellar.

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 perfumery in Grasse, at 20 boulevard Fragonard (+33 (0)4 92 42 34 34), is worth a peek. It provides the toiletries at the hotel – and will create a bespoke scent for you too. The sweet-toothed should head to Confiserie Florian at Gorges du Loup, Tourrettes-sur-Loup (+33 (0)4 93 59 32 91). This bonbon factory offers free tours and tastings, and is a 35-minute drive from Les Rosées. While you’re there, stop and let your sugar rush subside at nearby Gourdon, the mediaeval village. The dramatic gorge is definitely worth a visit.
