Grasse stretches across the hills of the Alpes-Maritimes hinterland, between the Provençal uplands and the French Riviera. The city is known for its perfume houses and its history of perfume-making; its old streets, squares and stone houses are another reason to explore the centre on foot. The bastide is set among gardens, away from the bustle of the shopping streets, yet remains connected to the city.

The Fragonard and Molinard perfume houses offer an insight into fragrance ingredients and the stages of perfume-making. The International Perfume Museum traces the history of the industry, while the Museum of Art and History of Provence displays collections devoted to the region. Grasse railway station is 900 m away and connects the city to the regional rail network. For a day on the coast, Cannes is 17 km away, where you can stroll along La Croisette, visit the Le Suquet district or head to the beaches. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is 22 km away.

Spring and early autumn are pleasant times to combine museum visits and walks through the old town with breaks in the gardens. In summer, the heat makes it worth planning outings early in the day and saving the hottest hours for the pool. You could combine a visit to a perfume house with lunch in Grasse, then head to the seaside. The roads through the hinterland also lead to Provençal villages and hilly landscapes, which you can explore by car and at your own pace.
