Flowers have given Grasse, the World Perfume Capital, its aristocratic title. There once was a time when the city was graced with the breathtaking sight and heady perfume of gardens and flower fields filled with jasmine, rose and tuberose, the three queens of the flower kingdom so essential to the perfume industry. Today, some twenty farmers cultivate such flower fields, and certain gardens are conceived so as to preserve this heritage by composing a rich bouquet of the fragrances of Provence.
Avenue Reine Jeanne, where Napoleon’s sister liked to rest during the winter. There is an orientation table overlooking the Avenue Victoria district, allowing a panoramic view over the old city.
