1 day
About this activity
Towards the countryside, you will start your tour by Grasse. Discover how this city, once known for its production of leather, became the world's capital of perfume. Explore the old town and discover the famous Fragonard perfume factory with a guided tour. Then, head to Valbonne and stroll around in the cobbled streets of the medieval village, built in the sixteenth century under the direction of the monks of "Lrins" islands. Discover the village's crafts and cafes. Enjoy free time for lunch in a typical restaurant in the main square. Head upriver via "Le Loup" to access Gourdon, the "Eagle's Nest," which overlooks the valley atop a dizzying peak of 760 meters. You will be captivated by the views all over the Cote d'Azur. Browse the village streets between old restored houses and craft shops. Admire the castle built during the thirteenth century and restored in the seventeenth century. It is a rectangular building which exhibits several collections: ancient arms and armor, furniture from the seventeenth century, Aubusson tapestry, and sculptures. The gardens were designed by Le Ntre. On the way back, you will visit a winery located in the heart of the vineyard of Bellet, above Nice. The location offers an amazing view of the sea, and vines browsing the hills. A tasting of local wines will be offered.
