Offering sea views from its elevated position in the French Riviera hills, the French property for sale offers a prime location in Cannes backcountry near the hilltop town of Grasse, just 30 minutes from the French Riviera city of Cannes.

The town’s name originated from “Gras”, meaning “wild grass”, to describe the abundance of fragrant herbs and flowers growing in the hills.

Renowned as the international capital of perfume, Grasse has a history in fragrance dating back to the 16th century when local leather artisans began to perfume their gloves for Queen Catherine de Medici.

Some of the finest scents in the world originate from Grasse, and luxury houses like Dior, Chanel, and Lancome own domaines in this fragrant region of France.
