For several centuries, the rural area of Grasse has continued ancient Mediterranean mixed farming techniques, characterized by the timeless triad: wheat, wine and olives. Today, olive trees have retained an important place in the landscape and in local family farming, as one can see by the several thousand olive trees in the Grasse region.

The Domaine de Manon, a family business, has been cultivated scented plants for 3 generations. The Biancalana family grows centifolia roses and grandiflorum jasmine, raw materials used in the composition of the most famous fragrances.

Perfume, flowers, climate: the advantages of Grasse and its region are numerous.

Do no forget to try the gastronomy of Grasse: lou fassoum (stuffed cabbage), pumpkin flower doughnuts, the pumpkin pie prepared only for Christmas and the famous fougassette, thin and light oval shaped brioche pierced with 7 holes and flavoured with orange blossom. And for those with a sweet tooth: candied flowers, candied rose and violet petals or sugared orange peel with chocolate
