Presentation

Since 1900 and for four generations in Salon-de-Provence, the Marius Fabre soap factory has been perpetuating the traditional production of Marseille soap.
Come and visit our workshops and our Marseille Soap Museum.

The Marius Fabre soap factory has preserved some of its most precious artefacts: engraved boxwood stamps, tools, the first soap moulding machines, stencils for shipping crates, old packaging, headed paper, washing boards, etc. Reflecting a very ancient activity that is still very much alive.
Permanent exhibition area: 600m².

Come and discover the authentic atmosphere of our soap factory and its production workshops during a guided tour. A time for sharing and discovery, young and old alike will learn about a unique skill that is still alive and well, handed down from generation to generation in our family.

The shop welcomes you to discover authentic Marseille soap.
