Almost Nice: Grasse 4

I'm tired and thirsty after the walk round the old town. Why don't you pull up a chair and join me in this delightful cafe? We're on the main pedestrian drag and can see right into Fragonard from here...
I'll have a tea and maybe a slice of that tarte aux pommes I can see...
Happy Weekend to you all!

Almost Nice: Grasse 1

Grasse, as probably everyone knows, is or was the home of the perfume industry. Nowadays perfumes and flavourings are usually synthetic so where there used to be fields of roses and jasmine we now see gleaming factories.
This is a fairly standard view from the Cours Fragonard looking past the Fragonard perfume factory and museum towards the Cathedral. Standard it may be but that doesn't prevent it from being lovely...
