About this tour

All transport, guide and entry to the perfumery are included.

What to expect
Pick-up from your Nice hotel kicks off the journey inland. Gourdon rewards the drive with a dramatic balcony view across the gorge and down to the coast—worth the short walk to the edge. Grasse sprawls across hillsides steeped in perfume production; your guide will explain how the town became Europe's fragrance hub before you step inside Fragonard to see extraction and blending techniques firsthand. The lake visit offers genuine downtime: shallow swimming, picnic spots and a chance to shake off the coach ride. The total nine hours includes all driving back to Nice.
Good to know
Minimum four people required; tours may reschedule or cancel if numbers don't meet. Book infant seats in advance if needed. Pack swimwear and towel for the lake. Food and drinks aren't included—bring your own or budget for café stops. Only departs from Nice hotels.
