LUXURY PROPERTY FOR SALE IN GRASSE

A popular location for tourists and property investors

Old Town is Grasse’s centrepiece, showcasing 17th and 18th century buildings, timeworn steps, arched tunnels and large squares. Place aux Aires, Old Town’s main square, has a lovely three-tier fountain along with butcher shops and bakeries.

The Cathedrale Notre Dame du Pay, which was rebuilt in the 17th century, is home to three Peter Paul Rubens paintings, plus a Jean-Honoré Fragonard painting circa 1754. Visit the Navy museum, called the Musée de la Marine and housed in the Hôtel Pontevès, or browse the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire de Provence in the Petit Trianon mansion.

A perfume town since the 17th century, today Grasse is the world’s perfume capital and the perfect place to create your own original scent. Grasse’s climate is perfect for growing flowers, the area’s lavender fields providing a popular ingredient for locally made perfume. In May, attend the four-day annual Rose Festival, followed by the Jasmine Festival every August.

Grasse is popular with property investors, including buyers who want to live in the centre of town as well as those who are happier on the outskirts.
