Artemisia Museum, so much more than just a museum!
Artemisia museum is a project that was initiated by the Université Européenne des Saveurs & des Senteurs – UESS (European University of Scents and Flavours) and is a training, research and promotion centre dedicated to the valorisation of aromatic and cosmetic plants. Located in the prestigious Couvent des Cordeliers, Artemisia museum is also a venue for exceptional seminars.
A historic heritage built in the 13th century
The Couvent des Cordeliers was one of the first Franciscan foundations in Provence. Listed in the additional inventory of historical monuments, it was beautifully restored in a style which retains the original architecture in a clever blend of contemporary and traditional materials.
A HAVEN OF PEACE in the middle of the town, the gardens of the convent invite you to discover a multitude of precious scents: Perfume roses, beds of aromatic plants, perennials and an orchard of old fruit varieties…
