The objective of the interpretation and documentation center is to offer literary tourism in the area.
A place of cultural mediation, it offers a new permanent exhibition, Jean Giono: "the paths of a work".
Created in 1992, the Jean Giono center is installed in a beautiful Provencal building of the XVIIIth century. You will be able to admire the old Provencal floor tiles of this building, its period woodwork and its beautiful ceilings.
