What to expect
You'll be collected from your Nice hotel and spend the day moving between four distinct Provençal settlements, each with distinct character. Grasse immerses you in centuries of perfume-making tradition with a guided walk through production spaces. The subsequent villages involve navigating cobbled streets and climbing modest gradients—comfortable shoes essential. Expect village stalls, local artisans' workshops, and photo stops at panoramic points. The waterfall detour offers a brief forest trail among limestone rock formations. Pacing allows browsing time in each village without feeling rushed.
