Maison/Villa 6 Pièces

Grasse occupies a hillside position in the pre-Alps above the Côte d’Azur, at an elevation that keeps it cooler than the coast while maintaining clear views toward the Mediterranean. It is internationally recognized as the historic capital of the perfume industry, a status that has shaped its architecture, its economy, and its identity for centuries. The old town retains its medieval street pattern, with tall ochre and terracotta facades, covered passages, and a cathedral dating to the 12th century.

Daily life centers on the Place aux Aires market, held several mornings a week, and the covered Marché Provençal. The historic perfume houses, including Fragonard, Molinard, and Galimard, are all within the old town. Restaurants such as La Bastide Saint-Antoine, a Michelin-starred address on the outskirts, represent the upper end of the local dining scene.

Grasse sits approximately 40 minutes by road from Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport, which serves direct routes to most major European cities and connects onward to long-haul destinations. Cannes is roughly 20 minutes by car or accessible by bus. The A8 motorway links the region to Monaco, Marseille, and the broader French autoroute network. There is no direct train service into Grasse town center, making a car essential for residents.
