Grasse: The Perfume Capital's Essentials

Grasse’s legacy as the global perfume capital is showcased through historic houses like Fragonard and Molinard, where traditional distillation techniques are still practiced. The town’s heritage extends to the 12th-century Notre-Dame-du-Puy Cathedral, which houses rare Rubens paintings, and the Villa-Musée Fragonard, dedicated to the Rococo master. Central landmarks like the Place aux Aires and its tiered fountain reflect the Provençal charm of this historic hilltop locality.
