This joyous festival is absolutely a must-visit especially for flower enthusiasts or perfume lovers who want to experience the Centifolia rose, the fragrant flower that is the symbol of Grasse.
The Exporose has been a beloved tradition, drawing tourists attention from across the world. This year the festival has a theme of “Danse la Vie !” This event will take place from May 9 – May 12, 2024.
