Highlight #1 :
PLAY GOLF AT THE FOOT OF THE GRASSE HILLS
La Grande Bastide golf course
9:00 a.m.
This location is praised by the true connoisseurs: A golf course steeped in the sweet scents of the region and surely one of the best-known on the Côte d´Azur. The Grande-Bastide golf course blends beautifully into its surroundings, with superb, panoramic views of Grasse, Opio, and the hilltop village of Châteauneuf de Grasse perched above the course. Designed by Cabell Robinson, a former associate of Robert Trent Jones, Sr., its broad fairways and greens, well-defended by numerous bunkers and water hazards, will thrill those who love a challenge. And the 18th hole has an extra adrenaline rush in store, with a green featuring a water hazard on one side and three bunkers on the other, all in front of the clubhouse terrace! You’re sure to enjoy a spectacular finish on this signature hole. This course will satisfy your golfing appetite, whatever your skill level.

Want to experience a land of countless scents after your round of golf?
We believe in sharing our extraordinary discoveries and so we invite you to take a stroll steeped in the scents of spices, flowers, herbs, and citrus. Here at the International Perfume Museum (MIP) Gardens, the air smells sweeter than anywhere else. From the moment you enter the reception building, a symphony of scents sweeps you away. Touch, smell, listen, contemplate… these are the MIP gardener’s words of wisdom, reminding us that perfume was created by plants before it was made by humans!
Helpful hints:
-
Large free parking lot in front of the garden entrance
-
Wear comfortable shoes. In summertime, bring a hat and drinking water.

Because the region’s summers can be quite hot and the gardens undergo regular maintenance, we recommend planning your walk toward the end of the day, starting around 5:00 p.m., to enjoy the coolness as dusk approaches.
