Grasse's main attraction is the Cathedral, dedicated to Notre Dame du Puy and founded in the 11th century. In the interior, are three works by Rubens and one by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a French painter native of the town.

Grasse is the center of the French perfume industry and is known as the world's perfume capital (la capitale mondiale des parfums). Many "noses" are trained or have spent time in Grasse. It produces over two-thirds of France's natural aromas (for perfume and for food flavourings). This industry turns over more than 600 million euros a year.

Many people visiting Grasse prefer to stay in Cannes, which is within 20 Mins drive and much closer to other major regional attractions such as

Monaco
Tourettes sur Loup
Nice (with its International Airport)

and other smaller towns and attractions from St Tropez in Provence to Antibes and the Ski fields of Isola 2000 and Auron!

Some people have to stay in Grasse. The rest go to Cannes!
