Is Grasse (Perfume Town) worth it with kids?

DependsWith kids

With kids, it depends on the day.

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.

Price
Tours free; workshops ~€40–70
Time
Full day (with transit)
