Grasse is the world capital of perfumery. This activity flourished in the seventeenth century with the glove-perfumers who later, in the eighteenth century, devoted themselves solely to the perfumery.
The region of Grasse enjoys a true microclimate that allows you to grow flowers - such as violet, jasmine, rose - in large quantities. Large perfumeries in Grasse, as Fragonard, Molinard and Galimard, open to the public, inviting them to discover the world of perfumery. The International Perfume Museum illustrates the history of perfume and the various stages of the creation of a perfume.
In addition, the picturesque old town and the thirteenth-century cathedral deserve a break.
