The Tour Sarrazine is a striking 30-meter-high square tower that once served as a watchtower in Grasse. Rising above the old town, it provides visitors with sweeping views of the red-tiled roofs, the distant hills, and the Mediterranean coast on clear days. Climbing the tower is a journey back in time, as its stone walls and narrow staircase evoke the medieval period when it was used for surveillance. Today, it stands as a well-preserved landmark, often photographed for its distinctive silhouette. Visitors can explore the tower's interior, which features informational panels about its history, and then ascend to the top for a rewarding panorama. The tower is located in the historic center, making it an easy addition to a walking tour of Grasse's charming streets.
