Place aux Herbes - Grasse

This used to be the place where herbs and vegetables were sold: a real vegetable and herb market .

The square, which was the centre of local trade , with stalls for thyme, rosemary, sage and other Provencal herbs, is surrounded by old shuttered facades . Today, you will find a few cafés and restaurants with terraces , where you can enjoy a drink in the shade of the trees.

Small street musicians or artists like to choose this place because of the natural acoustics and intimacy of the square. In summer there are sometimes open air lectures, exhibitions or music performances .
