About this tour

What to expect
Your driver collects you and handles all navigation through winding hinterland roads. In Grasse, you'll enter a perfume house to see how fragrances are actually made, then have free time to browse the historic centre's shops and alleyways. At the workshop, a specialist talks you through scent families and base notes before you create your own blend—expect to spend an hour on this. Lunch is three courses at a local spot; bring cash if you want wine or coffee as these aren't included. The afternoon takes in two or three quiet villages nearby, with stops determined by your mood and energy.
Good to know
Lunch excludes drinks, coffee and tea. Wear comfortable shoes for cobbled streets. The workshop involves standing and some fine motor work. Not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spine issues, or significant heart conditions. All fitness levels otherwise welcome.
