Like a perfume from the south in Grasse

Set in the foothills of the Southern Alps, Grasse impresses with its tall houses in the old town. The decor of its tall, colourful facades is remarkable.

🌹 But the town's greatest claim to fame is its perfume industry!

Indeed, the town of Grasse has been celebrating this fragrant product for centuries. Initially, it was leatherworking that made the local industry a success.

Perfumery soon took over (from the 18th century onwards) and various techniques and processes contributed to the fame of this local industry.

Today, the essences obtained in the Grasse region are used by the great Parisian perfumers and for the creation of food flavourings.

During your stay, several sites are worthy of interest, in this sense plan enough time so you can discover everything.

📍 The Villa musée Fragonard is a beautiful building that was home to the famous painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard. Today, some of his works and those of his family are on display there.

As an added bonus, the structure offers courses in perfumery (at the Fragonard factory) and drawing courses - a fun way to learn while having fun!

⏰ The site is only open in the afternoon, so make sure you ask before you come.

📍 The Musée International de la Parfumerie is a unique site in the world entirely dedicated to the study and promotion of the perfume industry!

This internationally recognised French luxury craft is the pride of the town of Grasse. The museum is the perfect tribute to this traditional activity, which is still going strong today.

This veritable Ali Baba's cave contains over 50,000 bottles and other flasks, and all your senses will be awakened here.

Perfumery evokes every era. You'll travel from Antiquity through the Middle Ages to the modern and contemporary eras.

The museum is organised into five sections, each representing a specific period.

⏰ The Musée International de la Parfumerie is open all year round, but is closed on certain public holidays.

Shops are also available at the city's tourist attractions. You can do your shopping and take home some great souvenirs from the capital of French perfumery!

⭐ Skylark Bed & Breakfast is a bed and breakfast located in the heart of Grasse. Just a few minutes' walk from the main points of interest in the perfume capital!
