What to expect

Take a scenic journey into the heart of the French countryside, starting in Grasse. Famed for its historical leather production, this city has evolved over the centuries to become the world capital of perfume. Explore the charming old town and visit the renowned Fragonard perfume factory.

Next, ascend to Gourdon, also known as the "Eagle's Nest". Perched at an impressive height of 760 metres, prepare to be awestruck by the breathtaking views of the Côte d'Azur. Wander through the village, taking in the beautifully restored houses and delightful craft shops. Don't miss the castle, a 13th-century building housing collections of ancient arms, 17th-century furniture, Aubusson tapestries and exquisite sculptures, all set within magnificent gardens designed by Le Nôtre.

Continue your adventure to Tourrettes-sur-Loup, a medieval village perched atop a rocky hilltop and affectionately known as the "City of Violets". Meander through its narrow stone streets, which are brimming with artisan shops, galleries and cosy cafés. Immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of Provence, then take some time to enjoy lunch at one of the local restaurants, which offer panoramic views and regional cuisine.

On your return journey, stop by a winery nestled in the heart of the Bellet vineyard above Nice. Take in spectacular views of the sea and rolling hills blanketed in vines while enjoying a tasting session of local wines that encapsulate the essence of this beautiful region.
