Great

Nous avons découvert toutes les étapes de fabrication du savon. Le plus amusant a été de pouvoir tamponner nous-mêmes un savon avec notre propre main ! Et la belle surprise : à la fin, nous avons appris que le savon que nous avions fabriqué était pour nous ! Une expérience très agréable.

Nettes kleines Museum. Der Workshop hat Spaß gemacht und die Erklärungen auf Französisch und Englisch waren gut verständlich ??. Die selbst verzierte Seife ?? ist ein schönes Mitbringsel

Le personnel est très sympa

bravissima la guida, molto competente e simpatica

À au moins faire une fois si de passage à Marseille. Un musée d'une quinzaine de mn en autonomie, puis démonstration et explication de la fabrication de 14 à 30mn, des savons offerts en fin d'atelier.

There were WAY too many huge tour groups that were at this tiny museum and workshop at one time. We arrived for our designated appointment, but we could barely see the museum. We waited thru 2 groups to get to a workshop, well past our slot. Then we were rushed out.
