Mougins, Provence Main Office

Mougins in the Alpes-Maritimes (06) is the seat of the Head Office of Coast and Country - the English speaking fully registered and insured estate agents in France since 1989.

Mougins is an idyllic Provencal hilltop village with winding streets, beautifully restored stone houses, colourful flowers and an abundance of charm. Just 7 kms north of Cannes, from its height of 260 ms there are wonderful panoramic views over the Mediterranean and, to the west, the Esterel mountains. This superb setting has enchanted many artists including Picasso (who spent the last 12 years of his life here),Cocteau, Leger, Man Ray and many more.

Mougins is also famous for culinary arts and boasts more than 40 restaurants, as well as 2 golf courses and 20 art galleries and studios. The Technology Park at Sophia Antopolis is nearby and also a long-established British school. Easily accessible from the coast by car and the frequent bus service from Cannes, this a highly desirable place to live and there are many luxurious properties hidden behind magnificent Mediterranean parks and gardens.

The Alpes-Maritimes is the department that covers the south-eastern corner of France and includes the coastline of the French Riviera right up to the Italian border. What makes it so special is its craggy coastline with the Alps plunging straight down into the Mediterranean. Sea and ski resorts are only an hour away in some places. The main towns along the coast have become famous for their beauty and lifestyle, and inland there are many hilltop villages within easy reach of the coast which offer a more relaxed feeling and Provencal scenery. Coast and Country is the perfect description of our service and of the unique features of this part of Provence.

Cannes itself is at the heart of the Cote d’Azur and all the glamour and sophistication of the French Riviera that this represents can be found here from international festivals to its innumerable luxury boutiques. All this in the lovely setting of sandy beaches, Mediterranean blue skies and palm trees.
