Guided tour ► In the footsteps of the Master

Pablo Picasso discovered Mougins in 1936, during a stay at the Hotel Vaste Horizon, at the entrance to the village. Later, in 1961, he bought the Mas Notre-Dame-De-Vie, a haven of peace and inspiration nestled in the heart of the Mougins countryside. He lived there for the last years of his life before breathing his last in 1973. This period was particularly prolific on the artistic level.

As you wander through the narrow streets of the old village, this tour will tell you more about the close ties that have grown up over the years between Mougins and the artist. You can also take an exclusive tour of the room in the former Vaste Horizon hotel, where Pablo Picasso stayed with his Surrealist friends in the 1930s. Photographs taken by Man Ray and Dora Maar during these summer interludes complete the discovery of this place steeped in history.

To complete your visit, don’t hesitate to visit the Notre-Dame-de-Vie chapelnext to the master’s final resting place. In the adjoining hermitage, discover the exhibition ‘Picasso through the eyes of Lucien Clergue’, immortalising a few moments of life in his Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie.
