Grasse France
The world's perfume capital
Grasse is located within easy access of Mougins, Cannes, and the Cote d'Azur. It nice place to get away and relax with golf nearby and plenty of day trips to be made. You can definitely feel the influence of the Provence and you know you are in the countryside even though Cannes and its beaches are not far away.
Located in the hills north of Cannes, Grasse offers a breath of fresh air from the heat and atmosphere of the beach-side resorts. Known as the perfume capital of the world, Grasse is a historic and intriguing destination - you can visit perfume museums and even perfume factories. This is not a scrubbed and packaged tourist-only destination, but a real centre of local life and industry. the village itself and its surrounding can be attractive but there are parts that have lost their charm so make sure you get our advice on where to stay.
The town is large, old, and very interesting. Tiny streets wind forever between the 17th and 18th century buildings, up and down ancient steps, passing through arched tunnels and sometimes opening out onto large squares. The 11th-century Notre Dame du Puy cathedral boasts some fine Rubens paintings. For fine dining you have plenty of choice and Mougins is a 10 minutes drive away.
