Introducing Grasse
In 2005, the brand new train line opened, connecting the flourishing, centuries-old hilltop town with the coast. Surrounded by fields of lavender, jasmine, centifolia roses, mimosa, orange blossom and violets, Grasse is one of France’s leading perfume producers. Its tightly coiled streets make for an absorbing stroll – the tourist office hands out maps directing you along a trail of golden plates embedded in the cobblestones, with multilanguage interpretive signs highlighting points of historical interest along the way.
