Grasse

The beauty of nature, the climate, and the radiant light of the Riviera are something special. Grasse is just the beginning of a journey of discovery that leaves no one indifferent.

Grasse is the city of perfumers. Lavender and roses thrive here in abundance. But to reduce the city to just that would be an understatement. Below the town hall, at the Place de la Poissonnerie, you will find an active art scene with impressive sculptures and paintings.

Where is the best place to stay?

Whether it's a hotel, a guesthouse, or—my personal preference—the campsites in and around Grasse: there is something for every taste. From here, you can explore not only the world of perfume but also the surrounding area with its bison, wild horses, and fascinating limestone caves.

Tranquil and Authentic

Grasse is a cozy place. There are no huge tourist avalanches, but rather small shops in centuries-old houses. The ancient and the highly modern merge here into a very special blend that defines the city's charm.

Parking Tip

The parking garage at Place de la Buanderie is brilliantly central, but do not leave any valuables in the car—unfortunately, it is not always entirely safe.
