Grasse, Valbonne & Gourdon: Day Tour with Wine Tasting

Embark on a journey into the countryside, starting in Grasse, a city renowned for its historical leather production that transformed over the centuries into the world capital of perfume. Explore the charming old town and visit the famous Fragonard perfume factory, where you'll enjoy a guided tour to learn about the art of fragrance creation.

Next, wander through the cobbled streets of Valbonne, a medieval village founded in the sixteenth century by the monks of the Lérins Islands. Discover its local crafts and inviting cafes, and take some free time for lunch in a traditional restaurant situated in the main square.

As you venture toward Gourdon, known as the "Eagle's Nest," you'll ascend to an impressive peak of 760 meters, where breathtaking views of the Côte d'Azur await. Stroll through the village, admiring the beautifully restored houses and charming craft shops. Don’t miss the castle, originally built in the thirteenth century and later restored, showcasing collections of ancient arms, seventeenth-century furniture, Aubusson tapestries, and exquisite sculptures, all set within stunning gardens designed by Le Nôtre.

On your return journey, visit a winery nestled in the heart of the Bellet vineyard above Nice. Enjoy spectacular views of the sea and rolling hills covered in vines, and indulge in a tasting of local wines that captures the essence of the region. This excursion promises to create unforgettable memories and offers a unique perspective on the enchanting French Riviera.
