Immerse yourself in the industrial bustle of Avignon in 1860, centered around silk and "calfskin" during an immersive guided tour led by Mrs. Pernod in period costume!
Guided by Mrs. Pernod, mother of a renowned dyer, and dressed in period costume, relive the transformation of Avignon to the rhythm of the textile industry.
In a vibrant neighborhood, between the colors of the fabrics and the noise of the workshops, discover how silk and "indians" made the city famous, fueled by the secret of madder red, a precious pigment that made the fortune of certain families.
Mrs. Pernod takes you on a journey through the stories of those who, like her son and Jean-Henri Fabre, contributed to the success of the town and its dye works. She will also recount the key events and tensions of a rapidly changing era.
Visit available on scheduled dates for individuals, and privatized for groups.
