Tucked away from the main visitor spots of the French Riviera but still an important place on Côte d’Azur, Grasse offers that old authentic feel of the South of France burnt by the sun.

There you can also find something special about the old town centre. Its perfume shops and antique stores spend their days in the shade of hundreds of pink umbrellas. I thought it would be one of those places you need to see once and be done but I find myself going back to the old Grasse at least once a year and always find something different to capture.
