nadeki Posted May 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I feel like I have researched so much and just can't take in one more piece of info. Has anyone done a perfume tour in Cannes? I have read there are some factories that do this for free. Please tell me how you go to them from the port in Cannes. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only factory I know of in the area would be Fragonard in Grasse.I would think you could find a tour to take you there. This you would have to search for on line if your cruise does not do one.

nadeki Posted May 26, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The ship does offer one to Grasse included with other things to do. I did not want a long all day tour.....And the factories all say free of charge. So, the ship excursion is overpriced more than the normal amount!! Trying to figure out how to get to Grasse...

Where are the other factories that you mention? To tour the Grasse factory it is free,but I don't know other ones. I believe Fragondard had a store in Monte Carlo,but not sure if still there..it is not a facorty. It is interesting,but they have changed how and what they do over the years.Maybe you could book a private tour..there are mentions of guides on this board.Ship tours are always more money,but sometimes worth it in some areas. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm a DIY'r, there are some things that you have to just take a ship tour if you want to see it. When we stayed in Cannes, we rented a car and drove to Grasse. If you are that interested in the perfume factory, I would recommend that you just bite the bullet and take the tour. Grasse is a distance (not too bad) from Cannes.

This is the one thing my 10 year old daughter is interested in..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steirisch Posted June 3, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 3, 2014 A few years back I did a shore excursion with one of the Crystal ships from Cannes to Grasse. We visited the Galimard factory and then had time to purchase perfumes from them, then we went to another place and had a perfume workshop where we created our own perfumes. I know Galimard offers this ability to create your scent, as well.
