Detailed itinerary

Grasse is a major town in the middle country of the French Riviera located in the west of the department of Alpes-Maritimes 12 km north of Cannes on the Mediterranean coast. Grasse is the world capital of perfume, supplanting Montpellier whose Faculty of Pharmacy was the source of the creation of ointments and perfumes. Discover its cobblestone streets dating back to medieval times and its historic buildings.

Stop 2

Installed since 1926 in this magnificent factory, tannery in the 18th century, it became a perfumery factory at the very beginning of the following century. Completely renovated and sublimated in 2013, it offers an original journey of discovery of the mysteries of traditional perfumery, from the processing of raw materials to the packaging of finished products. The machines used, from copper stills to soap workshops, offer historical, social and cultural interest in the techniques and working conditions governing family perfumery until the 1950s.

Stop 3

Located in the mountains of the meadows of the Alps , Gourdon enjoys breathtaking views. Enjoy these small shops with local specialties such as family glassware or artisanal confectionery.

Discover the traditional know-how, fused with an unparalleled love for the vine, that gives birth to great organic wines. These unique grape varieties, Rolle for white, Braquet for rosé and Folle Noire and Grenache for red, reflect the typicality and character of these rare wines.
