From an anthropological point of view, the elaboration of identity mechanisms (rooted in monuments and landscapes) can be deconstructed in order to understand the impact of cultural heritage upon inhabitants. This study, based on the French city of Grasse (French Riviera), demonstrates how cultural heritage is used in the creation of local identity and how it can impact social, cultural, economical and political fields. Cultural heritage is used here to understand identity strategies. It is established as a point of reference and a local marker. It legitimizes social order and validates local identity. This situation is not an exception in the area, and these cultural constructions can be seen in others touristic cities on the French Riviera.
