Is Grasse (Perfume Town) worth it for history buffs?
DependsFor history
For history & culture, Grasse (Perfume Town) is hit or miss.
The world's perfume capital, where houses like Fragonard and Galimard run free factory tours and paid 'design your own scent' workshops — a distinctive, hands-on day for the curious. The honest catch: the old town itself is faded and steep, it's a slog to reach by bus, and the experience leans heavily commercial/gift-shop.
