Museum to discover the history and the secrets of the manufacture of the calisson, small emblematic candy of Aix-en-Provence.

Adjacent to the Roy René factory, this museum is a true tribute to Calisson, an emblematic little delicacy from Aix-en-Provence! Known throughout the world, its sweet taste of almond and candied melon is part of the city's heritage and history. This recent museum, located on the RN7, about ten minutes by car from the city centre of Aix, reveals the history and secrets of the Calisson. Among other discoveries, the calisson and nougats workshops will no longer have any secrets for you. Gourmet scents, archives, old machines bear witness to the past but also to the present, the company having been awarded the label Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV).

Nous avons visité la fabrique avec un groupe de seniors et ils ont adoré ce moment de transmission de savoir. Un grand merci à Yann, notre guide, pour cette superbe visite.

Nous habitons a une quinzaine de kms et je passe tous les jours devant il était donc temps qu'un jour nous visitions ce musée La visite guidée est tres ludique en commençant par le jardin puis par le musée et le fait de voir aussi l'usine par des vitres est tres intéressant.(J'aime les visites industrielles). La boutique est tres belle et on craque forcément pour quelques bons produits. Je conseil grandement cette visite d'1 heure .

It’s literally just one floor for the giftshop and one floor for the museum with nothing in it
