There are a number of small towns and villages which simply ooze beauty, charm, and historical magic, just a few kilometres inland from the opulence and glamour for which the area is better known. Medieval France still exists…nothing seems to have changed much around these parts in centuries. The old village of Chateauneuf-Grasse is delightful maze of narrow streets and alley ways; perfect for strolling and exploring all this charming time capsule has to offer.

Just five kilometres from Châteauneuf lies the town of Grasse.

The site has been actually been occupied since the early Bronze age, and was an important assembly point throughout the Roman era. From this staging post great campaigns began; history was made.Today, there is still much evidence of the regions historical and dramatic past to be found.

A new era was born in 12th century when the Lords of Opio built a new castle on the highest point in the area, the site of the previous Roman centre of administration.
