A journey through time...
Perched on the hills of the hinterland near Cannes, Grasse is world-renowned as the capital of perfume. This picturesque city, steeped in history and tradition, is a must-visit destination for lovers of fragrances, craftsmanship, and enchanting landscapes.
A visit to Grasse often begins with its famous perfume houses, such as Fragonard, Molinard, and Galimard. These historic institutions offer guided tours to unveil the perfume creation process, from the distillation of local flowers like rose and jasmine to the composition of exquisite fragrances. You can even create your own custom perfume in a workshop.
The historic center of Grasse, with its medieval streets, colorful houses, and lively squares, feels like a journey back in time. Among the highlights is the Notre-Dame-du-Puy Cathedral, dating from the 13th century, which houses remarkable artworks, including paintings by Rubens and Fragonard.
The International Perfume Museum is another must-see. This unique museum traces the history of perfume through the ages, showcasing fascinating collections of bottles, art objects, and interactive exhibits. It offers a captivating insight into Grasse’s pivotal role in the perfume industry.
The surrounding nature is equally captivating. Iconic flower fields, including jasmine, May rose, and lavender, perfume the hills and create idyllic landscapes, particularly in spring and summer. Hiking enthusiasts will enjoy the trails winding around Grasse, providing spectacular views of the French Riviera.
The Rose Festival:
Each year in early May, Grasse decorates its city center with its famous pink umbrellas for spring. This initiative was launched by Mayor Jérôme Viaud to promote ExpoRose, the major festival celebrating the rose. Over 2,000 umbrellas are suspended above the town's main streets and squares (Rue Ossola, Place de la Poissonnerie, Garden Villa Fragonard…), creating a poetic and colorful atmosphere that draws tourists and photographers alike. The umbrellas remain in place throughout spring and summer, until the end of the season, offering a magical setting for visitors.
Grasse is also famous for its Provençal art of living, with local markets, artisan shops, and restaurants serving cuisine infused with the flavors of Provence. Delights like olive oil, honey, and traditional confections add a gourmet touch to your visit.
Each year, the city celebrates its heritage with events such as the Jasmine Festival, a vibrant celebration of local craftsmanship and traditions. It’s the perfect occasion to experience the authentic spirit of Grasse.
How to Get There: The easiest way is by car (17 km – 23 minutes).
