Around Grasse

A subtle blend of the Provence and the Alps, the area of Grasse stretches around the city. Broad meadows and woods, panoramas from the top of ridges over the Gorges de la Siagne and the Mediterranean, picturesque villages like Cabris and Gourdon, true “balconies” on the French Riviera, the light, fragrances, silvery cast of the olive trees make this ideal for hiking and horseback riding, as well playing golf...
