Le Grenier à Olives – Permanent Exhibition at the Moulin Cornille

The former attics of the Moulin Cornille have been restored to house a permanent exhibition. This visit offers you the chance to discover the history, origins and expertise behind olive growing.

Self-guided tours or guided tours by appointment.

In this symbolic setting steeped in history, this exhibition – suitable for all ages – offers a chance to discover olive growing and the ancestral expertise passed down from generation to generation.

A journey through time, with a tour punctuated by an original exhibition design that emphasises the sensory experience.

This exhibition offers a multifaceted approach: geographical, environmental, heritage-based, historical and technical.

The themes covered are:

-The region and terroir of the Vallée des Baux de Provence,

-The harvest

-Production techniques and the processing of “maturée” olive oil

-The architecture of a ‘moulin à chapelles’ (mill with chapels)

-Waste recycling

-The cooperative

-Cooking with olive oil

From mid-June to mid-September, guided tours of the permanent exhibition take place every week on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10.30 am. Bookings are available, but you can also turn up directly at the mill on the day of the tour. There is no minimum number of participants required to run a tour. Prices are the same as for regular guided tours.

Opening times: Monday to Friday 9.30 am–11.45 am & 1.30 pm–4.30 pm. Open all year round. In summer, also open on Saturday mornings and afternoons.
