→Poets and illustrious characters tour

Art in all its forms blends with history to sublimate our Provençal cultural heritage.

Works of art represent each author or their work. The tour retraces the history of Provençal poets and the influence of an extraordinary woman, Emma Catherine TEISSIER (Fortunette).

The town highlights the little-known role played by this Maussan artist in the Félibrige movement;

A work of art is specially dedicated to her and occupies a prominent place in the village.

This tour offers a new perspective on the era of the félibres, a bridge between the present and the past.

The cultural and artistic trail in the heart of the village is open free of charge every day of the week.
