Scents & Flavours of Provence

Grasse • Gourdon • Confiserie Florian • a winery near Saint-Paul-de-Vence

Imagine a day filled with French perfume, Provençal flavours, mountain panoramas, sweets and wine. This journey is for those who want not only to see the French Riviera, but to feel it through scent, flavour, sunshine and the unhurried pleasure of beautiful living.

We begin in Grasse, the world capital of perfume. We wander through old lanes, intimate squares and atmospheric corners of the medieval town, where the history of fragrance is present everywhere. If you wish, visit a celebrated perfume factory, discover the secrets of French perfumery or reserve a special workshop in advance to create your own scent with a perfumer. This experience must be planned and booked ahead.

Next comes Gourdon, a medieval village seemingly suspended between earth and sky. One of Provence and the Côte d’Azur’s most impressive panoramas opens from here: mountains, valleys and the Mediterranean reaching to the horizon. We pause for lunch in a welcoming Provençal restaurant, with local dishes, aromatic herbs and the relaxed rhythm of southern France.

Our gourmet journey continues at Confiserie Florian, the famous Provençal confectionery. We see how candied fruit, preserves and traditional delicacies are made and, naturally, enjoy a sweet tasting.

The day concludes at a winery set among beautiful landscapes near Saint-Paul-de-Vence. We stroll through the vines, discover local winemaking and enjoy a tasting of French wines, either on their own or with appetisers depending on the chosen programme. Tastings start at approximately €20 per person.

All of this comes with beautiful photo stops, music on the road and the freedom to enjoy the journey at your own pace.

Perfume, Provence, sweets and wine — four pleasures gathered into one unforgettable day on the French Riviera.
