Living in the hinterland of Cannes

Nestled between sea and mountains, Mougins and the Cannes hinterland offer an enchanting escape, away from the bustling coastline yet just minutes from the iconic towns of the French Riviera. Here, the art of living is fully expressed, shaped by a mild climate, rich heritage, stunning landscapes, and a real estate market blending historic charm with contemporary elegance.

Mougins: a sought-after lifestyle of calm and prestige

Just a short drive from Cannes, Mougins attracts an international clientele seeking serenity and refinement. This perched village, steeped in history and charm, is renowned for its elegant atmosphere, art galleries, gourmet restaurants, and famous residents.

Around the old village, coveted residential neighborhoods host exceptional properties: historic bastides, contemporary villas within secure private estates, or along prestigious golf courses like Royal Mougins. Proximity to international schools, notably in Valbonne and Sophia Antipolis, adds to the area’s appeal for families.

Between nature and culture, privacy and accessibility, Mougins embodies refined living, ideal for a primary residence or a second home.

The Grasse region: fragrance, heritage, and Provençal charm

The world’s perfume capital, Grasse captivates with its cultural heritage and the tranquility of its flowered hills. Surrounding villages (Plascassier, Châteauneuf-de-Grasse, Le Rouret, Opio, Roquefort-les-Pins, and Magagnosc) reveal an authentic Provence, where historic bastides, Belle Époque villas, and contemporary properties coexist harmoniously.

Life here flows with local markets, strolls among olive groves, and festivals scented with jasmine. Thanks to its strategic location between Nice and Cannes, and close to highways and the international airport, the Grasse region attracts those seeking peace without sacrificing urban conveniences.

The Fayence Canton: bucolic elegance in Eastern Var

To the west, the Fayence Canton extends this refined lifestyle into the heart of the Var. Perched villages (Tourrettes, Seillans, Callian, Montauroux, and Fayence) evoke a Provençal Tuscany.

Here, pastel-shuttered houses, shaded squares, and ancient stone buildings coexist with exceptional properties: tastefully renovated farmhouses, stone bastides, and contemporary villas offering panoramic views, landscaped gardens, and infinity pools. The private estate of Terre Blanche epitomizes ultimate luxury living with golf, spa, and enhanced security.

Between the Riviera and the hinterland: perfect balance

Just 10 to 45 minutes from the beaches of Théoule, Mandelieu, Cannes, or Saint-Raphaël, Mougins, the Grasse region, and the Fayence Canton combine Provençal authenticity with accessibility. An ideal setting for a tranquil primary residence, an elegant vacation home, or a high-value investment.

Close to Cannes’ major towns and transport infrastructure (A8 motorway, Nice international airport, TGV station), this chic and discreet hinterland offers an incomparable quality of life, both private and well-connected.
