The former French Catholic diocese of Grasse was founded in the 4th or 5th century as the diocese of Antibes. It was originally suffragan to the archbishop of Aix, and then to the archbishop of Embrun. The see moved from Antibes to Grasse in 1244. It remained at Grasse Cathedral until the French Revolution. The diocese was suppressed by the Concordat of 1801, its territory passing to the diocese of Nice.

The Grasse Funicular was a funicular line that previously connected the town of Grasse, France, with its railway station.
The town centre of Grasse is perched on a hillside approximately 300 m above sea level and 75 m above the town's railway station with service from Cannes. The railway station opened in 1871 and a funicular to connect Grasse's town centre and station was completed in 1909. In 1938, the Cannes-la-Bocca to Grasse Railway Line suspended passenger service resulting in the closure of the railway station and the funicular which was subsequently dismantled. In 2005, passenger service resumed to a rebuilt Grasse Railway Station.
Since the reopening of the railway station, there have been discussions on the potential reopening of the Grasse Funicular. A proposal announced in 2010 would have seen a new funicular line constructed by 2013 with 4 stations and a length of 570 m for a total cost of €40 million. By 2018, the project had gone back to the planning stage without any construction having occurred after significant community opposition and €16 million spent on feasibility studies.
