Day 2

Morning revitalise

Begin the day with an invigorating swim in our garden infinity pool, then enjoy a delicious breakfast on our elegant terrace. As you take in the magnificent views, decide on the day’s itinerary: you can either head over the hills to Grasse, home of French perfume, or south to the coast, which lies at the foot of our hills.

Scents and spirituality

Grasse is a beautiful town where the perfume industry has flourished since the 17th century. Famed for its museum dedicated to the history and future of fragrance, you can learn the secrets behind the industry and view exquisite exhibits including Grecian bottles and 18th-century Venetian-inspired glass vessels. The town also has a fine cathedral with an impressive collection of religious art including works by Rubens.

Fresh Nice

If you prefer, head south to refresh your eyes on the riot of natural beauty at the Saleya flower market in Nice, every day except Mondays. Stroll along the palm lined Promenade des Anglais or the labyrinth of narrow streets in Vieux Nice lined with red, yellow and ochre Baroque facades. Visit the Matisse and Chagall museums or sip a cassis by the Baie des Anges.

Dine above the sea

Visit our sister property, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, for a seat at the Eden-Roc Grill, where catch of the day and crustaceans are infused by the fresh sea air. The sky is blue, the Lérins Islands are on the horizon and the blue waves lap onto the rocks below.
