Taxi Nice — Mougins
The village of gastronomy and Picasso
A taxi between Nice and Mougins costs between €60 and €70 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 30 kilometres and a journey time of from 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A8, exit 42, Mougins, with ~€3.50 in tolls (Nice–Mougins section). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €95. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Mougins is a medieval perched village in the Cannes hinterland that has mastered the art of combining art, gastronomy and joie de vivre like nowhere else in Provence. It was here that Pablo Picasso chose to spend the last twelve years of his life (1961-1973), at the Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, drawn by the light and tranquillity of the place. The village became a gastronomy capital thanks to Roger Vergé, whose Moulin de Mougins (three Michelin stars) revolutionised Provençal cuisine in the 1970s. Today, the International Gastronomy Festival (Les Étoiles de Mougins) continues this tradition every autumn. The Museum of Photography, housed in a 15th-century building, displays portraits of Picasso by Doisneau, Quinn and Villers. The old village with its circular lanes, art galleries, Renaissance fountains and gourmet restaurants makes for a refined excursion from Nice.
Route
Route Nice → Mougins
From Nice, take the A8 motorway towards Cannes / Aix-en-Provence. After 28 km, take exit 42 'Mougins'. Follow the D35 uphill for 2 km to reach the perched old village. The village is pedestrianised: the driver drops you at the Porte Sarrazine car park, at the entrance to the medieval town. The journey crosses the wooded hills above Sophia Antipolis, with views over the Brague valley. For a more scenic route, you can take the D6085 via the Grasse road, but it adds 15 minutes.
