Marseille Soap Museum. Marius Fabre

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.

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.
