Grasse is a village in Cote d' Azur (Blue Coast) or often known in english, "French Reviera". It is the perfume capital of the world. The French perfume industry began in Grasse sometime in the 16th century. It is 15 km away from Cannes and approximately 1.5 hrs by bus to Nice. One of the famous attraction in this village is the Cathedral of Notre Dame du Puy founded in 11th century. I went to visit this Cathedral on July 24, 2011....I was frustrated because it was close. So I walk down the village and found Fragonard parfumery and I bought some perfumes for my son and body soap for myself. Somewhere in the village, there is a shopping street for all kinds of things that will remind you the place, I bought a table cloth with sunflower designs and some bar soap with different flower fragrance.
