Stunning recently converted 19th century house in the sought after St Francois area just outside Grasse, the famous perfume capital of France. Renovated to the highest standard with luxury fittings whilst retaining the charm of the original 1800 building. The White Company linens and towels are provided, as well as pool towels.
Accommodation comprises:
- 4 bedroom suites
- A large luxury kitchen with dining area and French doors to lavender garden and terrace
- Dining Room
- Lovely high ceiling living room with log burning stove and French doors to terrace
Outside
- A wonderful large terraced garden.
- A 10 X 4 pool
- Breathtaking views over the valley and mountains
- The property offers a variety of seating areas, a huge variety of fruit trees, grassed 'restanques', lavender; all floodlit at night.
A rural idyll yet only 5 minutes from all the shops and services of Grasse and 20 minutes to Cannes.
St Francois is a breathtakingly beautiful area just minutes from the centre of historic Grasse. We have many celebrated neighbours who have found this combination irresistible. Chef Jacques Chibois lives just around the corner from La Lavande Papillon. His Michelin starred restaurant La Bastide Saint Antoine in the hills above Grasse, has fabulous food and views over the Bay of Cannes.
The affluent parfumerie owners also chose here. The locals claim there is a micro climate which has attracted many of the world's best perfume houses for over three centuries. Chanel grows and harvests jasmine and May roses for their Chanel No 5 and doesn't use flowers grown anywhere else.
The town is a pilgrimage for all great perfume lovers. The oldest parfumerie is Galimard founded in 1747, where you can book a short workshop and create your own fragrance. Tours are also available at Fragonard and Molinard.
But it wasn't just the perfume world that was seduced by our corner of the South of France. Artists, writers and actors flocked here. Just a few yards from our home, Hitchcock filmed 'To Catch a Thief' with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in 1955.
For the art lovers, as well as the Musée de la Parfumerie, there is the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire de Provence, and the Jean-Honoré Fragonard Villa-Museum - named after the 18th-century French court painter who was born here, and containing paintings and drawings by the master.
The Old Town is definitely worth a visit and the Cathedral Notre Dame du Puy has paintings by Rubens and Fragonard.
The area is awash with stunning hilltop villages, street markets, sites of interest, shopping, adventure parks, restaurants and spectacular views. If all that isn't enough, you are only 20 minutes from the Mediterranean! Not difficult to understand why even Queen Victoria of Great Britain, famously hard to please, was also a big fan and passed several winters at Grasse.
