A visit to Grasse

Grasse is a village located about 40 minutes from La Colle sur Loup, and is known as the World Capital of Perfume.  It has 30 perfumeries, with the largest most well known being Fragonard, Galimard, and Molinard.  As perfume however is not particularly of any interest to our crew of little people, we did not venture into a one. We did however walk through the old streets, visit the Fragonard musee (museum), and visit the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, which was built in 1244 (truly amazing).  Marcus has become extremely good at finding the old churches, as he gets extremely excited when he hears the church bells ringing.  We have begun a new ritual of lighting a candle in each new church we visit.  To end off the visit, we did a jumping photo shoot, which is a new favorite family activity.
