about Grasse
Charming Grasse has centuries of tradition in the field of perfume production. The town is well known for its premier perfumes. The art of perfumery is taught here and people say it takes up to seven years to master this craft. Most masters are able to recognise over six thousand scents. Grasse owes its perfume production to its highly praised flower produce. Of course, these two are closely tied. The surroundings of the town are home to a great variety of flowers including lavender, jasmine, mimosa and roses. If you are coming in spring, be sure to check Jardin de la Villa Noaille. Furthermore, there are three perfumeries open for visitors.
