FRANCE - French Riviera
Grasse
Grasse is located at 45 kms from Nice and has been a perfume town ever since the 17th century, and today as the world's perfume capital.
Every year some two million tourists arrive from all over the world to visit the perfume museum, perfume factories and perfume shops.
You will be delighted to stroll the narrow winding streets and stairways, and you will discover a square Saracen tower, remains of the 16th century ramparts, the mayor's office housed in what was formerly the bishop's palace, the medieval houses raised in the 17th and 18th centuries, superb private mansions (Hotel de Cabris, Hotel de Ponteves, Court de Fontmichel) and magnificent 18th century villas.
