Jardins du Musee International de la Perfume Mouans – Sartoux France
The title of this demonstration garden is probably best translated into English as the ‘Botanic Gardens of the international Perfume Museum’. You are likely to find it interesting if you are intrigued to see the some of the plants which provide the raw components for the perfume industry, or you are just fascinated by horticulture/gardens. It is situated near a large commercial garden centre on the outskirts of Mouans, off the Casino supermarket roundabout. It is on a rather uninspiring flat, 2 hectare site. Do not expect a beautifully laid out garden, first impressions are of a field, predominantly covered by low growing vegetation, although there is a more ‘traditional garden’ incorporated into part of the design. What is in flower will obviously depend of the time of year which visit, May is probably best (centre only open May to September). There is good signage in both English and French describing the different beds and excellent additional notes in English available to borrow from reception. The purpose is to display the flowering plants such as roses, jasmine. Lavender, tuberose and oranges which provide chemical scent sources for the French perfume industry. The Grasse area to produce many of these crops for the industry , but as the notes point out they are now sourced from around the world dependent upon such factors as where they grow best, how many crops can be achieved each year and labour cost.
After about 30 minutes of wandering and Reading you will most likely find yourself captivated by the place. The commitment of the small staff is obvious , as their dedication to organic gardening and the encouragement of wildlife.
Well worth a visit; you are guaranteed to learn something new, even if it only about the different parts of plants other than flowers which provide source scents, as they still cannot be artificially synthesised. A visitor attraction with unrealised potential.
Entry €4 .Closed Tuesdays. large free car park. Very small shop. Small indoor interpretive display. Toilets. Cold drinks machine.

Great alternative to Grasse's tiny theatre if you are too lazy to go to Cannes or Nice. I just regert that these theatres don't sell real food anymore...just candy and pop corn...

Colgan's Brewery is bringing local craft beer to the French Riviera. Look for our beer in local pubs and bars or come visit us at the brewery. We offer tours of the brewery and are open weekdays from 9:00am - 6:30pm and most Saturdays.

Micro-brewing is catching on in France and hopefully one day we won’t have to forlornly look at the expanse of tasteless fizz offered up as beer in most French bars and plastic Paddy/Brit pubs. One such micro-brewery has been set up in the village of Mouans Sartoux by your friendly neighbourhood Aussie, Andy Colgan. Helped by a motley crew of Irish Ian and English Alan they produce some fine ale. Leading brand is ‘Pirate’, but they also make IPAs, a pilsner and a white. If you pop along to the brewery, you’ll be made welcome and maybe offered a beer …..and maybe take some home with you.
If there’s a group of you, Andy can arrange a visit and explain the brewing process and how the various ales are put together. Well worth a visit. You can find Colgan ales in various drinking establishments along the Riviera; Andy will tell you where to find them. Give them a call before you go and happy supping.

in the chateau of Mouans Sartoux And an adjacent building one finds a rich collection of modern art. The new building has signs of damp and is beginning to need some TLC but a pretty setting in the pine trees.

Institut de charme avec un personnel professionnel et souriant.
Malheureusement celui-ci a dû fermer.
Dommage car la qualité était au rendez-vous pour des moments cocoon à des tarifs un peu élevés par contre...

Je fréquente Aurore Beauté depuis 9 ans de façon épisodique il est vrai, les besoins variant selon les horaires, les lieux et les disponibilités. Néanmoins, que ce soit pour les soins Guinot (toujours très agréables olfactive-ment), pour l'amincissement (Cellu M6 - personnel compétent et agréable), pour l'épilation (toujours parfaite), pour le SpaJet (un délice) ou encore le modelage des pieds (mumm ...), rien à redire. Facilités de parking, respect des horaires, produits Guinot remisés par envoi sms, je recommande chaleureusement. :)
