The hills above the French Riviera reveal a different side of the region, shaped by fragrant traditions, medieval architecture, and artistic heritage. Grasse, long considered the center of French perfumery, offers insight into the craftsmanship behind its celebrated fragrances. A guided visit to a renowned perfume maison introduces the techniques, natural ingredients, and creative processes that have defined the industry for centuries. Its historic center, with narrow lanes and Provençal façades, reflects the town’s deep-rooted identity.

The journey continues to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, one of the Riviera’s most evocative hilltop villages. Stone ramparts, shaded passageways, and views toward the surrounding countryside create a setting that has long drawn painters, sculptors, and writers. Small galleries and atmospheric squares highlight the village’s enduring artistic connections.

Together, these landscapes and cultural traditions offer travelers a thoughtful look at the Riviera’s inland character, blending sensory discovery with the timeless charm of two of its most emblematic communities.
