Manoir de l’Etang in Mougins

Hello Everyone,
 
Response to  the planned outing to Mougins has been terrific. I already have 22 bookings and only 8 seats are now left on the coach. If you haven’t yet reserved your place, please do so now.
 
Itinerary
The private coach will leave from the bus station in Menton at 9am I have had to change the departure time as the museum closes at 12.15pm.

We arrive in Vallauris at 10.00am and I will have your entry tickets for the museum, which is housed in the castle of Vallauris.

You can view:

  • The ceramic museum
  • The Magnelli museum
  • The Picasso museum

Highlight is the Romanesque chapel which houses Picasso’s “War and Peace” panels, measuring more than 100m2.

Only 15 people are allowed in at one time. We shall organise two groups.
 
Picasso was freeman of Vallauris and contributed greatly to the rebirth of Vallauris pottery industry. His home, “Mas de Notre Dame de Vie,” situated on the Allee des Cedres, has been in private ownership for many years. It’s currently on the market with a price tag in excess of 20 Million Euros and will be auctioned this October.
 
At 12.30pm we drive the short distance to the Manoir de l’Etang in Mougins, where prosecco and nibbles will be served followed by a three course lunch on its terrace overlooking the gardens.

Please let me have your menu choice by the end of this month. Menu Below.
 
Total cost for this excursion and delightful lunch, coach hire and entrance fee to the museum is €60pp.

Please send your cheque at least one week before the event.

  • WE WILL NOT ACCEPT BOOKINGS UNLESS PREPAID

 Looking forward to seeing everyone again after the long hot summer on the Cote d’Azur
