GRASSE, 16km inland from Cannes and with some stunning views over the Côte, is the world capital of parfumiers and has been for almost three hundred years. These days it promotes a perfumed image of a medieval hill town surrounded by scented flowers, though in truth its outskirts sprout boxy suburban villas with rather more luxuriance. Making perfumes is presented as a mysterious process, an alchemy, turning the soul of the flower into a liquid of luxury and desire, and the industry is at pains to keep quiet about modern innovations and techniques. Grasse is the official starting point of the Route Napoléon but is equally easy to visit as a day-trip from the coast.
