"Grasse, a symphony of perfumes, art and history"
Sightseeing tour in Grasse
When leaving Cannes, head north for less than 15 km to reach Grasse, the world perfume capital. With its fields of scented flowers, Grasse produces more than 30% of all natural aromas in France.
Make sure to visit one of the perfumeries such as Molinard, Fragonard or Galimard and discover the entire perfume-making process. You can even make your own perfume.
Grasse has been a popular city amongst tourists for centuries for its breathtaking view of the bay of Cannes and its fields of scented flowers.
Located at 350 meters above sea level, rising from the hills, Grasse offers a warm Mediterranean climate.
Besides its perfume history and activity, Grasse is also famous for its flavourful traditional "grassoise cuisine," such as the Fougassette, a sort of brioche flavored with orange blossom or its delicious squash blossom fritters.
