About the soap factory
Since 1900, in the heart of Salon-de-Provence, the Marius Fabre soap factory has been perpetuating the traditional production of Marseille soap and olive oil soap.
A time for sharing and discovery, young and old alike will be able to discover a unique know-how that is still alive and well, handed down from generation to generation in our family.
