Presentation

The Ecomuseum L'Olivier is a place dedicated to the living culture of the olive tree.
Free visits for individuals.
Store and delicatessen
Le Petit Ribier, nature bistro

In the heart of an extraordinary place, a former lime kiln from the 20th century, the Olive Tree reveals itself 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 elaboration of soaps to the use of the oil as fuel for lighting, from the pruning of the olive tree to the harvesting of the fruit, and from the making of the 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, olive 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 culture of the mythical tree. Or simply sit on a bench and listen to the music of the words that the tree evokes, the stories of travelers and poets.

A delicatessen with products from Maison Bremond 1830, the Biscuiterie de Forcalquier and the famous Confiserie du Roy René in Aix-en-Provence.

Le Petit Ribier proposes a bistro cuisine of fresh and local products, fair and inventive, built on the quality of local products and the attachment to its soil.
