Grasse is nestled against a backdrop of mountains, forests, blue skies and in the distance, a captivating view of the bays of Cannes and Antibes. You are here in the French capital of perfume. A light breeze sometimes carries the fragrances of the flowers and essences used in the city. Stop for a few minutes on the Place aux Aires, built on 3 levels, with an elegant arcade and a Louis XV fountain. Continue your walk towards the old town of Grasse. Look for the Saracen tower and the remains of the 16th century ramparts. Then, a little further down, reach the Petit Puy square, with its 10th century Notre Dame du Puy cathedral and 18th century clock. Throughout the year there are also an array of festivals, carnivals and concerts. A city of culture, Grasse is home to many museums and galleries.
