Grasse celebrates forty one years of Rose festivals. Grasse Rose festival takes place between the 13th and 16 May, 2011, from 10.00 and 20.00.
There are numerous exhibition stands all around the town in particular the garden by the Fragonard museum and the place de Cours Honore-Cresp where the general public can visit (for an entrance fee of 5€ or 3€ for children) and can admire and even purchase beautiful rose bushes many of which are unique to Grasse. The Expo rose entrance ticket includes access to the main marquee, the Musee Fragonard and the Musee de la Marine.
It’s a very colourful exhibition, with heady fragrant roses which were originally grown for the perfume industry for which Grasse is the capital of Europe.
