Grasse Old Town

Grasse Old Town, known as the Vieille Ville, is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets that climb the hillside. This historic neighborhood is the soul of Grasse, where time seems to stand still. As you wander through the cobblestone alleys, you'll encounter beautifully preserved medieval and Renaissance buildings, their facades adorned with wrought-iron balconies and colorful shutters. The area is dotted with numerous fountains, some dating back centuries, which once served as vital water sources. The atmosphere is quintessentially Provençal, with the scent of lavender and jasmine wafting from nearby perfumeries. Small boutiques, artisan shops, and cozy cafés invite you to explore and linger. The old town is also home to the Cathedral and the Musée International de la Parfumerie. A stroll here offers a glimpse into Grasse's past as a medieval town and its evolution into the world's perfume capital.
