Once upon a time in Mougins
Diving into the Mougins of yesteryear
Until the end of October, the old bread oven in the old village opens its doors to memory.
Discover a unique exhibition dedicated to the Mougins of yesteryear, through old views of the village dating back to the last century. Photographs and postcards bring to life the charm of a Provencal village, with its traditional festivals, period costumes and art of living.
The exhibition also gives you the opportunity to discover one of the most illustrious figures in the town’s history.
Napoleon Bonaparte stopped off in Mougins in March 1815 during his escape from Elba and his famous “March of the Hundred Days”. To commemorate this event, Mougins is still a stopover on the famous “Route Napoléon”!
In homage to this famous visitor, the exhibition presents some of the major achievements initiated under his stewardship, which continue to shape French society today.
A sensitive and fascinating immersion in the memory of a village that leaves no one indifferent.
An exhibition produced with the support of the Cercle d’Histoire et d’Archéologie de Mougins (CHAM) and the kind participation of the Musée d’Histoire Locale de Mougins.
Free admission, daily, 10am-7pm. 5 rue des Mûriers, old village.
