The soap factory opens the doors to its workshops and museum dedicated to Marseille soap. Guided tours are free for individuals at 11 am and 2 pm, and for groups at 10 am and 3:30 pm, both with advance booking.
Created in 1894, the Savonnerie du Midi is one of the last factories in Marseille to perpetuate the traditional know-how of a master soap maker. Cooked in a cauldron, its soaps, made from 100% vegetable oils, are available in three ranges: maitre savon de Marseille, La Corvette and Soins d'Orient.
