The chapel's walls are lined with white tiles. The Rosaire Chapel, built and painted by Matisse, is illuminated by magnificent stained-glass windows. You can also visit the Château de Villeneuve - the Emile Hugues Foundation and the Château de Notre-Dame-des-Fleurs. The owners have opened an exhibition of works by César and other artists here.

Golf
The Cannes-Mandelieu Golf Club is one of the oldest on the Côte d'Azur, founded in 1891.

The Royal Mougins Golf Club is famous for having been designed by Robert Van Haagge, one of the world's most renowned landscape artists. The Isola 2000 course, located at an altitude of 2,000 meters above sea level, is unique in its kind.
