A town ideally located to make the most of the sun, beautiful foliage and plentiful countryside, Pegomas in Provence, south east France is a lovely place to stay. In an enviable position between the coast of Cannes, Madeliei and the first hills of Grasse, Pegomas is a great place to start the Route des Mimosas – an annual inter-village celebration of the bright yellow mimosa plant. This vivid plant covers the hillsides, and in late January a parade to celebrate the first flowers of the year takes place. The perfect climate to cultivate the flower, the village benefits from lovely hazy summer days. Wandering around the town you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a restaurant, and there are plenty of shops to ensure you have everything for daily life in Pegomas. And whilst you’re there, pull up a café terrace seat in a shady square and watch a game of petanque. With the villages of Tanneron and Mougins nearby, you won’t be short of things to do…
