L’Auberge du Vieux Château combines the facilities of a village hotel with several spaces where you can relax or enjoy the surroundings.

Family rooms, non-smoking rooms and outdoor spaces complete the facilities on offer.

Cabris is a hilltop village in the Alpes-Maritimes, above Grasse, with sloping lanes and houses clustered around old squares. The landscape opens out over the hills inland and, in places, towards the Mediterranean. The village suits travellers who want to combine walks around a Provençal village with cultural visits and trips to the coast, while staying away from the busiest seaside resorts.

In Grasse, museums and perfume houses tell the story of a city shaped by the perfume industry; the International Perfume Museum and the Musée Fragonard offer an insight into its ingredients, expertise and collections. Grasse train station, 4.1 km away, connects the area to the regional rail network. The neighbouring villages of Peymeinade and Spéracèdes offer more walks in the hills, while the Préalpes d’Azur Regional Nature Park attracts hikers and those interested in limestone landscapes. Cannes, about 25 km away, provides access to beaches and seafront promenades.

In spring and autumn, the temperatures are pleasant for exploring Grasse on foot and travelling along the inland roads. In summer, you can spend the morning in the lanes and museums, then head to the coast for a swim or an evening walk. A car makes it easier to explore the villages, natural areas and coast; Nice Airport is 26 km away. For a day without a long journey, combine a visit to Grasse's perfume houses with a stroll through the city's streets and gardens.
