Grasse

The 4 lane N2285 'penetrante' from the A8 exit 42 Grasse/Cannes is the recommended access route. It terminates rather abruptly just before the steep ascent into Grasse on the old N85 route Napoleon. Fortunately you do not need to go much further to get to the couple of perfumeries which is probably the main reason to visit.

It is also quite possible to take the meandering inland roads from Vence via the Loup Valley and/or Fayence.

You can also get by train from Nice or Cannes.

From Nice there are frequent buses run every 30 to 40 minutes to Grasse. The journey takes approximately 1.5 hour and costs €1. Tickets are for sale on the bus.

From Cannes there are buses to Grasse as well, but less frequent.
