Grasse
Grasse, the perfume capital of the world, an 11th-century city, a veritable balcony overlooking the Mediterranean, a land where essential becomes art.
Visit the 13th-century cathedral and episcopal palace, 17th- and 18th-century mansions, charming alleyways and fountains, perfumeries, museums, and breathtaking panoramic views: Grasse is surprising and fascinating, bewitching and enduring.
And if you have always longed to understand the mysterious world of perfume, a visit to Grasse is a must, including some time at the International Perfume Museum, where you can learn the history of perfume around the world.
