By car

From the A8 Junction 40 (Cannes), take the N85 penetrante signed for Grasse and Mougins. Take the first exit, turn left on the D3 (signed Mougins Centre), bear left at the roundabout after approx 1km and then turn left across the bridge over the penetrante. The road is narrow but theoretically two way to be careful of unexpected buses or trucks! Park in the free parking at the top of the hill - there are two or three separate parking places, if you decide to try for the one closest to the top do expect to have a job finding a space.

By bus

There is a frequent bus service between Grasse and Cannes which passes through Mougins. However the usual bus route does not go all the way to the top of the hill so you will have a nice climb to work up an appetite.

Mougins has a number of excellent restaurants, at a variety of prices. In summer and at weekends reservations are a good idea as the ambiance is magnificent and popular. Le Bistro de Mougins is charming, has excellent food and is not too pricey, however it does not let you sit outside as some of the other do.

Moulin de Mougins down the hill by the exit from the penetrante. This restaurant once had three Michelin stars, it lost one when the chef changed, as a rule of michelin. Its a bit snobby (e.g. your car will be parked for you) but priced like other Michelin rated restaurants. The new chef is Allain Llorca who was chef at the Negresco before. They offer dejeuner menues where you can test them for a fixed amount. [1]

If you want to eat at a Michelin starred restaurant and don't like the snooty Cannes hotels then try the Bastide St Antoine in Grasse
