Nice to Grasse and Gourdon: Private day trip

Explore the world capital of perfume and fragrance

Grasse has been making perfume for over four centuries. Tour the historic houses, Fragonard, Galimard, or Molinard. Where perfumers explain their craft and show how flowers become fragrance. Stroll the town's narrow streets, painted shutters, and shops filled with lavender, soaps, and oils. The International Museum of Perfume gives a closer look at the history of scent and its cultural role. Outside town, fields of jasmine and roses are still cultivated for world-famous brands. Grasse feels both practical and poetic. A working town where perfume remains part of daily life.

Discover France's most spectacular eagle’s nest village

Gourdon is located 760 meters above sea level, and from its walls you can see the Alps behind you and the sea ahead. Start by exploring the village lanes. Full of stone houses and artisan shops selling glass, honey, or handmade textiles. Next, visit the chateau and its terraced gardens to take in the history. Perched on its rocky outcrop, the nickname “Eagle’s Nest” fits perfectly. Many visitors come for the view alone, but you'll enjoy the slower rhythm of a Provencal hilltop community. Shaped by its landscape and traditions.
