Tribute to Esprit Fléchier

Birthplace of Esprit Fléchier, a sacred orator at the court of Louis XIV, this 17th century mansion is part of the architectural and cultural wealth of the city. Several works pay tribute to this emblematic character of the city in this house.

Reconstitution of Comtadine and Provençal traditions

In this museum, you will find numerous reconstructions of Comtadine traditions in superb living rooms such as in the majestic 19th century dining room featuring calendar traditions such as the 'Big Supper' Christmas or even Saint Barbara's Day, Saint Barbara, the cacho fio, the composition of the meal and the thirteen desserts. In a nearby room, we also attend “Wishes to the Newborn” with gifts offered to the young mother within three days after birth.

A sandmaker's workshop

It's impossible to talk about Comtadine tradition without talking about santons! On the second floor there is a reconstruction of the workshop of the last sculptor in the village, Ludovic Montagard, with his tools, his molds and, of course, his figurines. There is also a magnanery, a place where silkworms were raised, a farm that has long been a significant source of income for Comtadine families.
