Le Musee du Savon de Marseille
Situated in the old drying room of the Marius Fabre soap factory in Salon
The tour will tell you the fascinating story of soap in Provence, which starts in the Middle Ages.
The Marius Fabre company has conserved many artefacts and items from throughout the years: carved boxwood stamps, tools, early soap moulds, stencils for wooden crates, old packaging, company stationery, wash-boards…
This museum is the living reflection of a traditional activity that has been the Marius Fabre family’s enterprise for over a century. At the end of the tour you can peruse the shop and buy some traditional soap!
