PAYS GRASSOIS - PAYS GRASSOIS

Pays Grassois

A subtle blend of the Alps and Provence, this land surrounds the town of Grasse. Expanses of meadow and woods, panoramas from the ridges onto the Siagne Gorges and the Mediterranean, picturesque villages like Cabris and Gourdon, genuine “balconies on the Côte d'Azur,” the light, fragrances, silvery cast of the olive trees make it ideal for horseback riding and golf...
