REGIONAL ADVICE

TAKE THE CÔTE D'AZUR ARTS AND CRAFTS ROUTE

A land of elegance, a place where the sun shines most of the year, the Côte d'Azur is no less an area of great craftsmanship... you only have to push open the doors of artists' and craftsmen's workshops to see for yourself!

The town of Biot, which has held the "Ville et Métiers d'art" label since 1997 for glassmaking, is proof of this. Set between the sea and the mountains, this capital of contemporary glass is well worth a visit for an unforgettable creative experience, with visits to several glassworks, each with its own personality.

Just 10 kilometres away, artistic ceramics take centre stage at Vallauris. This tradition of pottery dates back to the late 19th century and was brought to the fore by the work of Pablo Picasso in the mid-20th century, who left his mark on the village and the Riviera with his original works. The hills around Vallaur are steeped in these traditions, where ceramics and the Riviera are one and the same.

The route of craftsmen with golden hands continues between the Alps and the Mediterranean, leading to Grasse, the world capital of perfume. It was here that a divine romance was born with Galimard, one of the first perfume houses in France, founded in 1747. Since then, the family tradition has grown into a passion, and Galimard boasts a wealth of family know-how that you should not miss, especially at the Studio des Fragrances, a temple to the olfactory arts.
