. With 320 days of sunshine per year and its quality of life, Mougins has been a popular village for the international set for years; Pablo Picaso spent his last twelve years here and Yves Klein, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Winston Churchill, and Edith Piaf all owned property in Mougins.

The Royal Mougins Golf Resort, the Mougins Museum of Classical Art, and the Museum of Photography are all close to the centre of the village. The high technology park of Sophia Antipolis is down the road from Mougins, and this is becoming a major reason why people are starting to re-locate here.

In Mougins, this is not a problem, with the Mougins International School being created in 1987 to look after children of expats moving to Mougins and the surrounding areas.

The Mougins International School enrolls 454 students from 35 nationalities, with all teaching in English.

Here children can take the AS and A level exams that they would have taken back home in the UK.
