The first roundabout was constructed in Paris around the Arc de Triomphe in 1901. As of mid-1997, there are about 15,000 modern roundabouts in France. We went around many of these roundabouts during our trip.
Grasse is a very beautiful town in southeastern France and is the center of the French perfume industry. It produces over two-thirds of France's natural aromas (for perfume and for food flavourings). This industry turns over more than 600 million euros a year.
This roundabout in Grasse features a copper vat that was used by a perfume maker to steam blossoms to distill their essence. And it wasn't déjà vu, but we really went around this one several times.
Déjà vu is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously - the term was coined by a French psychic researcher, Émile Boirac in the late 1800s. Whether déjà vu or a wrong turn at a roundabout, we got to spend a little more time in beautiful Grasse.
