Description:

Café Culturel - Grasse, capitale mondiale du parfum (Grasse, world's capital of perfume) - PART 1

Grasse, located in the French region called Provence-Côte d'Azur, has had a prospering perfume industry since the end of the 18th century. Grasse is the center of the French perfume industry and is known as the world's perfume capital. We will learn some historical and current facts about Grasse in two sessions.

Part 1 will cover geography, climate, native flowers, history (how Grasse became a place of choice for perfume fabrication). In this first session, we will also learn different types of fabrication.

Part 2 will cover industrial development, globalization of the perfume industry, tourism, industrial mutations, etc. We will learn about the city of Grasse today.

This is an online presentation in English, by our speaker and Alliance Française de Denver teacher, Edwige Wagner.

Each session will last about one hour and will be followed by a discussion.

Participants will be invited by TEAMS (our online platform).

WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING

"Alliance Française de Denver created a wonderful virtual environment where I spent my Summer vacation; visiting the winemaking area of Bouzy; celebrating Bastille Day; learning how to cook with flowers; touring historic châteaux and beautiful villages; all in the safety and comfort of my home. A real treat for any Francophone person; especially having a daily place for French chat to try out and maintain colloquial skills."

“Anne is fantastic! The material is fast paced for this ‘old dog’ to learn new tricks, but we couldn’t go slower. It’s been very helpful to prepare me for my trip to France.”

Sue T.

“A great place to learn and practice French while getting acquainted with French culture and interesting people. I definitely recommend AFD and their events. Je parle français! Et vous?”
