Sights in Grasse

  1. Art & History Museum

    Everything from faïence pottery to toys, furniture, costumes and paintings evoke the past in this regional Art & History Museum, inside Hôtel de Clapiers Cabris. Former owner Jean-Paul de Clapiers loathed his mother, who lived opposite, so much that he had a Gorgon's head carved over his door to leer through her windows.

  2. A

    Musee Jean-Honoŕe Fragonard

    His paintings shocked and titillated 18th-century France with their licentious love scenes. See why at the Musee Jean-Honoŕe Fragonard where the controversial Grasse-born artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806) lived for a year in 1790.
