Why go
Spend time here to understand the connection between local flower cultivation, craft and an industry that eventually drew materials from far beyond Provence. Established perfumeries and seasonal flower events give different ways into that story. The inland setting makes its flower and fragrance story especially legible.
What to look for
- Perfume making has shaped Grasse since the eighteenth century.
- The town is associated with jasmine and rose celebrations.
- Several longstanding perfumeries maintain visitor-facing exhibitions or tours.
Useful to know
- Choose a perfumery visit for production history; check its current tour arrangements.
- Check festival dates separately if flowers are the reason for your trip.
