Mougins au Matin

Mougins au Matin 01

Last summer, during a trip to the South of France, we had the pleasure of visiting the delightful village of Mougins, a small hilltop town fifteen minutes from Cannes, and a world away from the hustle and bustle of La Croisette. The entrance to the town was so tight, that our car got stuck in one of those tiny dead end alleyways that only clever maneuvering back and forth, perhaps a few inches at a time, can get you detangled from. But ah, once we arrived, what a wonderful place to meander…

As with most hilltop towns in this part of the world, the views were stunning.

A wonderful place for a relaxed Provençal meal, Le Bistrot de Mougins.

But we had our petit déjeuner before we arrived…

So we wandered instead, enchanted by the way the colors of the village reflected the natural scenery surrounding it.

Ivy covered stone facades with perky white shutters opened to the clear day.

Delicious small shops tease as you pass their inviting window displays. I must admit I didn’t leave empty handed.

These delicate window boxes charmed us in their pale blue setting.

Greenery, sunshine and lace. C’est magnifique!

    Hi Lory,

    So nice to meet you!

    Your photos of Mougins are magnifique!! I literally feel like I’m there, as your images are grand and detailed! Such stunning, yet simple, architecture, and although very French, it could easily one of many quaint, hilltop villages of Greece! I love the look of ivy clad, ochre facades, so fresh and revitalizing, and romantic!

    Have already taken the liberty of showing myself around your gorgeous home, and stopped to smell the peonies – one of my treasured favourites, and one that doesn’t thrive in the Med, so your beautiful bouquet was extra special.

    Thanks for stopping by Poppy View and hope to see you again soon!

    Have a lovely weekend!

    Poppy

    Oh, I tried to get to every town on the Riviera I could: Biot, Menton, Vence … but I missed Mougins. Now I’m really sorry – It looks stunning! One more reason to come back.

    Your website is beautiful! And this post is stunning . . . Your photos would make a beautiful gallery wall. I love ‘story-telling’ photos!

    Wonderful photos. I have not been to southern France only the Normandy area and Paris. Maybe the south next time.

    Hi Lory,

    I can see we are like-minded about shutters and la belle France. Mougins is one of my favorite spots. So picturesque.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Question for you: how do you get your furniture home from Europe?

    Reply
    • Lory at Designthusiasm says

      Wednesday, April 11, 2018 at 9:24 am

      Hi Joyce! I usually just buy smalls in Europe that I can carry home (lighting, vases, silver pieces, etc), but you can pay for shipping if you want. For furniture pieces, I usually go to antique stores in the US that I know carry European furniture. Since they buy a lot, they can fill a full container and ship much cheaper than if I bought one piece from Europe myself.

    What a feast for the eyes first thing this morning, although the French pastries have left my mouth watering! Thank you for sharing. I’ve been reading novels set in Provence and these pictures are the perfect backdrop. Merci, Lory!
