Looking for a Provencal getaway in the heart of the Côte d'Azur ? Grasse is the ideal destination. Soak up its rich heritage with a visit to the Cathédrale Notre Dame du Puy. Built in the 11th century, it houses masterpieces by Rubens and a painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, an illustrious 18th-century local painter.
In August, don't miss the famous "Jasminade", an annual festival in honor of the jasmine plant. The city comes alive with floral floats, fireworks, festivities and folk concerts. In May, the not-to-be-missed "Expo Rose" invites you to admire an international exhibition dedicated to the rose. Finally, for lovers of literature, note that Grasse is forever immortalized in the pages of Patrick Süskind's famous novel "Le Parfum".
