The old town, with its narrow streets and small squares by yellow painted buildings, ocher, orange offers an opportunity for a pleasant walk, made fragrant by the large number of shops and workshops, during which you can capture characteristic views .Recommended equipment : It is not required special equipment. If you're lucky enough to happen on a beautiful day clear air, the use of a polarizer can accentuate the contrast between the blue sky and the warm colors of the buildings.Best months : Spring and autumn. The summer is to avoid the tourist crowds, while in winter it loses the opportunity to admire the surrounding lavender fields, the main raw material on which is based the local economy.How to get there : Traffic permitting, Grasse is reached from Nice in about three quarters of an hour, along the A8 (continuation of Italian A10) in the direction of Antibes and then take the exit 42 for Grasse-Le Cannet and merge onto D35. The town is well signposted and there are no difficulties in the path, however, the historical center, located in an elevated position, is virtually inaccessible to cars, so along access roads need to park or in the underground car park which is located at the end of serpeggiate Boulevard Fragonard. Reported coordinates refer precisely to the underground parking, the most convenient to visit both the center and the museums dedicated to perfume, including the historical Fragonard shop, a must for end purchases. .Visits : The museums, factories and workshops of the historic perfume shops have their schedules, to be verified online. As with almost all of Provence, the shops, which generally exhibit the wares outside, tend to open late in the morning but then they do all day.Notes : | | Nearby:   Saint Honorat 19 km
