   • Musée International de la Parfumerie. As we said, Grasse is the cradle of French perfume. A lot of the raw material for these fragrances is grown in flower farms nourished by Grasse’s microclimate and its rare abundance of water for the region.
   • Parfumerie Fragonard. Follow your nose to the free tour of the Fragonard perfumery and outlet, which has a major presence in Grasse. You’ll take a tour of the facility, building on what you found out at Grasse’s perfume museum, seeing where the fragrances are distilled and how they’re bottled.
   • Domaine de la Royrie. Grasse also has just the right environment for olive cultivation, and ancient cultures are as plentiful as flower farms on the plateaux and hillsides hemming the town.
   • Jean-Honoré Fragonard Villa-Museum. Not to be confused with the Frangonard Perfumerie, the Villa-Museum is a refined 17th-century country house where the painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a son of Grasse, lived during the French revolution in the early-1790s.
