Villefranche to Grasse

[Willum UK]

We are hoping to arrange a private half-day tour to Grasse on 1st May having arrived into Villefranche on Liberty of the Seas that day. Can anyone recommend a tour guide in Villefranche undertaking such tours?

Keep in mind that May 1st (May Day) is a huge national holiday in France (and most of Europe) which is their Labor Day. Many places will be closed that day and, in 2011, it is essentialy a big 3 day weekend. As to Grasse, we have stopped in that city during some of our many driving trips in this part of France and been underwhelmed. Of course there are plenty of perfume "factories" but there is no telling how many will be open on May 1. I would also mention that my DW once had a perfume factory make a special fragrance for her mother and by the time we got it home much of the fragrance had faded to something not very impressive.
