Honeymoon in Grasse France in half a day
Friday, September 29, 2017#WalkwithChaMikeinGrasse
After our visit in Cannes in the morning (Read: Things to do in Cannes) we transferred to another French Riviera destination, Grasse.
Cannes to Grasse via Bus
Remember that we asked for the schedule of the Bus going to Grasse the moment we arrived in Cannes? Yes, so we were already aware of the bus departure from Cannes to Grasse in the afternoon while we were doing the walking tour thus we were at the bus station prior to its arrival. We bought the tickets upon riding the bus for € 1.50 each one way; the travel time is 40 minutes.

1. This town is closest to Cannes
2. We only had a few hours to spare after our Cannes walking tour
3. To see the medieval villages I had seen on the net
4. To buy French perfumes.
Grasse is a quaint town in the Alps Maritime department that is north of Cannes thus you won't be seeing any beaches but is considered to still belong in the French Riviera. It is said to be the world's capital of perfumes which was its claim-to-fame. Perfumes, yes, we saw it everywhere! So here are the few things we did in Grasse for less than 4 hours.

Buy Perfumes at the Fragonard Perfume Company
The most popular perfume company in Grasse. It opened in 1926 and is now run by the third generation of the family. The Fragonard Perfumery has a free museum tour that will take you to the facility on how to make perfumes. After the museum tour, you will be directed to its main shop where you can buy all sorts of fragrant items like perfumes and soap.

If you have more time, you can visit the other perfumery around the area. There are two other: Galimard Perfumerie and Molinard Perfumery
Walk and Appreciate the Surroundings
We just visited a small part of this town because we had spent most of our time at the Fragonard Perfumery. Despite the shortage in time, I felt very giddy just strolling around the place. I must say I'm a town girl, as much as I appreciate the cosmopolitan vibe, I feel very much at home in this kind of place - The palm trees lined up, the cobblestone walkway, the rustic medieval houses, the narrow alleyways and the peaceful surroundings made me want to live here or retire in this place perhaps. Because there were very few tourists during the time, it felt relaxing, away from the busy crowds we normally experience.

Take Photos with the Wisteria Flowers
I've been very much fascinated about these pastel colored flowers. There was a public trellis full of wisteria flowers along the street and I can't help but take so many photos with it.

It was a very quick stroll hence the reason why we explored very few places, but if you have more time I recommend that you visit the outskirts, other museums and cathedrals. This laid back charming town will give so much romantic feels. I definitely didn't regret visiting it. 💟
