This soap factory is the oldest to perpetuate the manufacture of authentic Marseille soap according to an ancestral recipe

This institution, founded in 1856, is the oldest soap factory to perpetuate the manufacture of authentic Marseille soap according to an ancestral recipe handed down by generations of master soap makers. While waiting for a protected label, leave the ersatz soaps behind and opt for the Fer à Cheval soaps. Made exclusively with vegetable oils, without any added perfume or colouring, they are part of the town's living heritage. A true cultural heritage, labeled Living Heritage Company and holder of the Quality Tourism label.

Owner's Message

Founded in 1856, Fer à Cheval is the oldest and largest soap factory in Marseille. We are among the last soap factories to continue the traditional and ancestral production of Marseille soap.
For 160 years, under the expert eye of our master soap makers, we have continued to make this timeless product with tradition, meticulousness and a lot of passion according to the original recipe, certified by the Edict of Colbert in 1688.
Our soap factory is registered as a Historic Monument. Our factory represents from a historical point of view, a patrimonial interest testifying to the traditional activity of the soap industry in Marseille in the 19th century.

Come and visit our soap factory and discover all our products in our factory store.

De l'histoire et de l'artisanat en une seule visite !

Voici le lieu où l'on apprend l'histoire d'un produit typiquement marseillais et où l'on peut admirer le travail des derniers savonniers dans des chaudrons ancestraux. Ensuite, petit tour par la boutique pour ramener un souvenir bien sympathique et qui servira au quotidien pour soi ou encore pour la maison.

L'authentique Savon de Marseille

Une visite instructive qui permet de connaitre le processus de fabrication du fameux savon de Marseille bien souvent imité
Ne manquent que les chaudrons (sécurité oblige)
