Parfumerie Fragonard, South of France

Description: The Fragonard Perfumery in the south of France in Grasse is one of France’s leading perfume houses. The museum is housed in a beautiful old building in the centre of Grasse. (A more modern laboratory/plant museum can also be visited free of charge on the outskirts of Grasse). This family friendly museum offers the visitor a fascinating insight into how the whole perfume-making process has developed over several centuries. The guides are interesting and should keep ones childrens’ attention. Within the museum it is also possible to see a collection of Provençal costumes and jewellery. A ‘boutique’ at the end of the tour sells a range of articles for men and women.

Location: 20 boulevard Fragonard, 06130 Grasse.
