Museum of the Moulin des Bouillons

The Moulin des Bouillons museum is a Gallo-Roman site inhabited for 2000 years.

One can still admire the remains: the water catchment system and the location in the rock of the Gallo-Roman press, as well as newer machines but still on the antique model.

This is the case of the superb 16th century Greek press, perfectly preserved and classified as a Historical Monument. Remarkable for its weight (7 tons) and the length of its lever of 10 m in a single oak barrel, the latter is built according to the indications of Caton in its treatise on agriculture (3rd century BC). Today it is one of the most exceptional presses around the Mediterranean.

This unique place presents everything related to olive oil, a Mediterranean symbol, and its various uses over time (lighting, body care, history of Marseille soap...), as well as the multi-millennial technique of its manufacture.

The mill is set in a large park where you can visit another magical place: the Museum of Glass and Stained Glass. The latter is the work of Frédérique Duran, master glassmaker, whose stained glass windows and sculptures will be discovered in the park and in the museum.
