Grasse, famously know for being the perfume capital of the world, is nestled at the foot of the Provençal plateau, overlooking the fragrant fields of flowers that have made the towns fortune. The clear blue sea from the coast of Cannes can be seen from the old town, and where pretty boutiques and perfumeries line the sun drenched streets. The old town ("vieille ville") is extremely interesting, with cobbled streets winding between the 17th and 18th century buildings, up and down ancient steps, passing through arched tunnels and opening out onto large squares.

Grasse has been a popular tourist town for several centuries, with the smell of flowers and clear air. The 300-400m altitude of the town and the hills behind, give Grasse a fresher climate than the beach during the heat of the summer.

To the south, only 15 km away, is the city of Cannes with its yachts, fine-sand beaches and luxury shopping. To the east, about a 30-minute drive away, is Nice, with its international airport, offering low cost daily flights, pebble beaches and the bustle of a busy city. Just North of Grasse, you have the hills, forests, canyons and rivers.

There are bus servies between Grasse and: Antibes, Auribeau-sur-Siagne, Biot, Gare de Biot, Cannes, Magagnosc, Mouans-Sartoux, Mougins, Peymeinade, Le Plan-de-Grasse, Pont du Loup, Plascassier, Sophia Antipolis, Spéracèdes, Le Tignet, Valbonne, and Vallauris.

The Grasse-Nice bus line passes through Pre-du-Lac, Le Rouret, Roquefort, Villeneuve-Loubet, Cagnes-sur-Mer, Nice Airport and Nice. There are at least 10 buses a day in each direction, 7 days a week.
