Taxi Grasse — Nice
From the world capital of perfume to the French Riviera, from €80
A taxi between Grasse and Nice costs between €80 and €95 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 40 kilometres and a journey time of from 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A8, with ~€4 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €125. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

The taxi ride from Grasse to Nice connects the world capital of perfume to the capital of the French Riviera, two cities just 40 kilometres apart that embody two radically different faces of Provence. Grasse, perched at 350 metres altitude on the foothills of the Southern Alps, has been the undisputed cradle of world perfumery since the 17th century. Its jasmine, May rose, tuberose and lavender fields supply the most precious raw materials for haute perfumerie. The three great historic houses — Fragonard, Molinard and Galimard — offer guided tours and perfume creation workshops that rank among the Riviera's most popular experiences. In 2018, Grasse's perfume-related skills were inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. The old town features medieval alleys, a cathedral housing works by Louis Brea and Rubens, and the International Perfume Museum.
