Jean de Galimard, Lord of Seranon and a great friend of Goethe, lived in Grasse where in 1747 he created the Galimard perfumery. Two and a half centuries later, Galimard continues the tradition established by its illustrious founder who used to supply King Louis "the Beloved’s" court with olive oils, pastes and perfumes.
