Description

In the heart of an unusual place, a former 20th-century lime kiln, the olive tree is revealed to the five senses. Thanks to interactive and audiovisual tools and fun sensory activities, young and old alike will discover the civilization of the olive tree. From the biology of the tree to its mythology, from the traditional production of soaps to the use of oil as a lighting fuel, from pruning the olive tree to harvesting the fruit, and from the production of olive oil to the formal exercise of tasting, each step of the tour is an invitation to travel, to see and taste Provence and the Mediterranean.
On the big screen, pickers from Provence, Spain, Greece, and Lebanon harvest their fruit and bring it to the mill. Once the film is over, stroll among the display cases, whose objects evoke the past and present cultivation of the mythical tree. Or simply sit on a bench and listen to the music of the words the tree inspires, the stories of travelers and poets.

Because the olive tree is at the heart of Provençal cuisine, a Brémond fils delicatessen shop completes the visit.
The brand's products are iconic: olive oils from Provence and the Mediterranean, vinegars and balsamic vinegars, truffle-based products, confectionery, biscuits, infusions, etc.
A whole range of authentic Mediterranean know-how is offered for tasting.
