The 130-kilometre Mimosa Route stretches from Bormes-les-Mimosas to Grasse, offering an enchanting spectacle that epitomises the beauty of the Côte d’Azur. From February to early March, this route becomes a veritable showcase of colour and fragrance, with mimosas in bloom dominating the landscape. Every year, this route attracts thousands of visitors who come to admire the fields of yellow flowers, carried away by the magic of this emblematic flower.

Accompanied by musical groups, strolling shows and costumed characters, the floats invite you to immerse yourself in the joyous and colourful world of the mimosa.
