No Experience Required

The salt air of the bay still clings to your jacket when the minivan eases away from the cruise terminal and into the polished pulse of Cannes. White-sand beaches glitter under designer awnings, and for a moment you can imagine the click of camera shutters on La Croisette—the Palais des Festivals hanging like a promontory of celebrity above the harbor.

History

Grasse’s perfume industry dates to the 18th–19th centuries when leather tanning demanded scented coverings, which evolved into today’s perfumery; Saint‑Paul transformed into an artists’ enclave in the 20th century.

Conservation

High visitor pressure on small hilltop villages threatens stonework and local ecosystems—stay on paths, avoid littering, and buy from local artisans to support preservation.
