Museum

Since 1900 and for four generations in Salon-de-Provence, the Marius Fabre soap factory has perpetuated the artisanal 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 artifacts: engraved boxwood stamps, tools, early soap molding machines, stencils for shipping crates, old packaging, headed paper, washing boards... Reflecting a very ancient activity that's still very much alive.
Permanent exhibition area: 600m².

Come and discover the authentic atmosphere of our soap factory and its workshops during a guided tour. A moment of exchange and discovery, young and old alike will discover a unique know-how still alive today, handed down from generation to generation in our family.

The boutique welcomes you to discover authentic Marseille soap.
