On this excursion to Grasse, we'll visit a town with an important tradition of perfumery. We'll also get to know the charming villages of Provence and do a wine tasting!
Grasse Excursion + Wine Tasting
After picking you up at your hotel in Nice at 9 am, we'll head inland to Grasse, a small town in Provence.
Grasse has a long tradition in the world of perfume and a large number of museums and factories related to this art. In fact, this town was what inspired Patrick Süskind to write his novel Perfume!
During the tour, we'll visit the famous Fragonard factory and talk about the importance of the perfumer's trade in this charming town.
Then, we'll head towards the medieval village of Valbonne, where we'll check out its monastery and discover the influence that this religious building has had on the town. There, you'll have free time to stroll through its quiet streets and taste the delicious local cuisine.
Leaving Valbonne behind, we'll make a stop in Gourdon, where you'll have the opportunity to visit its church and its old town full of stone houses. It'll feel like you're in a fairytale!
Finally, we'll enjoy a wine tasting at the world-famous Bellet vineyards, which boast one of the best appellations in France.
The excursion will end back at your hotel in Nice at 5 pm.
