The picturesque hilltop village of Mougins is a 15-minute drive from Cannes. Walking down the maze of pedestrian-only streets is a bit like a treasure hunt—you never know which quaint boutique or café you might stumble upon. Home to many artists' studios and galleries, Picasso actually spent the last decade of his life here. Mougins is also known for its cuisine, and plays host to the annual International Gastronomy Festival of Mougins. There are sidewalk bistros to linger at on warm days and cave-like underground restaurants that serve Provencal food. There are shops with wonderful lavender and lemon verbena soaps made nearby in Grasse, antique shops worth scouring and galleries selling signed prints to take home. I've been lucky enough to visit a few times, and it always feels like stepping into a story book.
