9:00 AM
Your guide will come to pick you up at the time mentionned on your voucher in front of your Hotel/address. We recommend you to be ready in advance. The guide will not be able to wait with other clients. Thank you very much and we wish you a pleasant tour.
Begin your day-long tour with pickup from your hotel in central Nice. Climb into a comfortable minivan and travel west toward the town of Grasse, your first stop.

Grasse is often called the perfume capital of France, a moniker that will make sense when you disembark from the vehicle and smell the scented air – lavender, jasmine, mimosa and orange blossom grow in the hills and are used by the town's perfumeries.

Stroll through Grasse with your guide and then take a guided tour of the famous Fragonard Perfumery to hear about the process and history of making perfumes.

Your next stop is the town of Valbonne, less than 30 minutes away. Walk through the town's charming narrow streets and browse shops full of local crafts. Take a midday break for lunch at one of the traditional Provençal cafes in the Old Town of Valbonne (own expense) before getting back into the minivan for the scenic drive along the Loup River to Gourdon.

Gourdon sits high atop a rocky cliff, making it ideal for postcard-worthy views. Your guide will bring you to one of the best places to see the the glorious Cote d'Azur far below.

Upon your return to Nice, stop at one of France's smallest wineries – Château de Crémat – before being dropped off at your hotel. The historic estate produces wonderful wines from its beautiful location, and you can enjoy the scenery while you sip local Bellet wine in a tasting session led by an expert.

Take a leisurely walking tour around its charming cobbled streets, and then tour Fragonard Perfumery, where you’ll learn about perfume manufacturing and the history of this intriguing perfume house.

Excellent tour with so many sights to see. Great value too.
Margaret_S
, May 2022
Our host, Hedwig, was extremely knowledgeable and a great tour guide. Having visited Nice a few times, we have tended to remain in central Nice or take train journeys. On this trip, we visited places we would never have experienced otherwise. The countryside and Gourdon specifically, as well as the winery tour were real highlights.

Ingrid was a wonderful guide and we saw so many interesting things
Paul_K
, Feb 2022
We met Ingrid at our hotel and she charming. She knew this tour inside and out and suggested some deviations in order and suggested some additional items if we didn't feel like taking a 90-120 minute lunch. We didn't need lunch so she included extra things for us to do. She expertly navigated the narrow passages in the old towns - took terrific panoramic pictures of us and generally was a very nice person. We would hang out with her even if she wasn't a guide! She was very interesting and full of information about things we never would have known about. She knew the towns so well, she never even used Google Maps. When we would stop somewhere, people knew her and chatted with her. Ask for Ingrid on this tour if she is available - she was wonderful.

Perfect Day Out
Jenna_S

This day trip was so fun! My boyfriend and I ended up being the only ones on the tour so we had the guide to ourselves all day and she was super knowledgeable about everything and drove the mountain roads like a pro! Gourdon was super cute, walking around Grasse was nice and our stop at the Fragonard factory was way more interesting than I thought it would be, and lunch in Valbonne was perfect before stopping at the winery. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the countryside and get out of Nice for a day.

We enjoyed every moment of our day tour with her!! She was extremely knowledgeable of all the places we went. Also very flexible according to our wishes & how much time we spent at each stop. Had time for an extra stop and tour at a wonderful candy making factory. Beautiful country & hillside scenery as well along the route. Wine tasting & tour at the chateau was amazing too. Highly recommend!!

It is not worthwhile to waste time on perfumery factories and wineries, as the journey is mainly about this. There is no time left for the beautiful things and places of the trip. France is not just perfumes and wines, but trade has to go in full swing. Otherwise, our guide Zara is a great and tremendous thanks to her.
