Description:

The Provençal countryside is as fascinating as its famous coast, and you can explore it all on this comprehensive day tour. Discover Grasse, the world capital of perfume, stroll the medieval village of Valbonne, marvel at the views from Gourdon, and learn about the winemaking heritage of Bellet.

Grasse, celebrated for its perfume industry since the 17th century, is an enchanting historic town. Lose yourself in its narrow, winding streets and stairways, see elegant fountains and picturesque squares lined by vaulted passageways, and admire the colorful red and ochre houses that line the hillside.

In Valbonnes, stroll the pretty streets and elegant, Renaissance-style squares of the charming old town. The village is nestled in a valley filled with fragrant Mediterranean plants. Breathe it all in as you sit back on the sun-soaked terrace of a village café.

Ride through the Loup Valley to Gourdon, perched high atop a cliff. Admire the breathtaking panoramas from the village and explore its medieval houses and imposing fortified castle. Take some time to pop into local handicraft shops along the way.

A winding mountain road offers spectacular views that stretch to the Cap d'Antibes and the Mediterranean beyond as you approach the vineyard of Bellet. Visit the winery and learn about winemaking methods and processes, concluding your leisurely day with a tasting of local varietals.
