The historic capital of the perfume industry, set on a hillside above the Grasse plain inland from Cannes, where jasmine, May rose, and tuberose have been cultivated for centuries. Several historic perfume houses — including Fragonard and Molinard — offer free factory visits. The hilltop old town preserves a network of Provençal medieval streets and the Musée International de la Parfumerie.
