Then head up north to Grasse, the World Capital of Perfume. Spend time strolling around the Old Town and visit the Museum of Perfume. Stop in at the Fragonard factory for a guided tour on how perfume is made. Sample some local delicacies at one of the marchés hebdomadaires, weekly markets, where locals arrive to showcase their fresh homemade products.
Drive your Luxury Van along the banks of the river Loup. It flows through some of the most beautiful scenery in Provence and passes through the Gorges du Loup, where you can stop for a picnic in a picture-perfect setting. Sample some of the Riviera’s unique flower sweets at the iconic Florian Confectionary before setting off to St Paul de Vence. This perfectly preserved medieval village nestles on a hillside and became an art mecca in the early 20th century. Art lovers will delight at La Fondation Maeght,a stunning museum of modern and contemporary art, situated just outside the main city walls. Wander around the old streets and soak up the atmosphere.
Dinner at La Colombe d’Or is a must. The walls are hung with paintings of artists who in the earlier 20th century were offered room and board in exchange for their artwork. Be astounded when you see works by Matisse and Picasso!
