ecomuse

The PPP boutiques in Paris were born from a project dear to Olivier Baussan: the creation of an Ecomuseum dedicated to Mediterranean olive farming. The Olive Tree Ecomuseum is situated in the former clay ovens of Volx, in Haute-Provence. Here the biological structure of the tree is presented, as well as how to use the fruits to make soap and olive oil. Visit the Volx Ecomuseum

Open to the public, the Ecomuseum presents an occasion to discover, through mythology and traditional objects, the history of this living culture dating back to Antiquity. A large screen offers a virtual tour with images of olive farmers from Provence, Greece and Lebanon harvesting their olives and bringing them to the mill. Learn more
