Firstly the wonderful museum of Classical Art has re-opened: set in an ancient building in the heart of this beautiful village, they have combined classical artifacts (Greek, Roman, Egyptian) with sculptures and paintings inspired by them. Superb.

Then you could walk over to enjoy lunch at l’Amandier where chef Sebastien Zunino offers a midi formule or special Menu Musée, all with quite a view. Details: https://www.amandier.fr/home/home/accueil-ouverture-de-lecole-de-cuisine.html
And finish off with a wander round the curving village streets, lined with little galleries and Instagramable doorways, to admire the
plein-air animal sculptures which are the stars of this summer’s Mougins Monumental exhibition.
Parking by the way is well-organised at the foot of this village perché. You are whisked up to the main square and belvedere by glass-sided lift. Mougins is just over 1.5hr drive from Aix, but so worth it.
A memorable day out!
