Grasse, located about 20 km north of Cannes, is considered the world's capital of perfume. In the Middle Ages Grasse was known for leather tanning. When during the 16th century glove-wearing became "en vogue", the gloves got scented, what started the perfume industry. Today this industry employs about 3,500 people in the city and surrounding area - and attracts many tourists.
