Grasse, heritage of the Côte d’Azur

Grasse is a city spontaneously associated with perfumery, which in 2018 benefited from international recognition with its classification as an intangible heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. A visit to the perfume workshops is a must in the city, which has long lived on agriculture and tannery (leather trade, artisanal production of gloves), before turning to horticulture and tourism in the 19th century. . In addition to economic activity, Grasse was throughout the Middle Ages an important religious center as evidenced by the old Notre Dame cathedral, now a parish church.
