What you can expect

  • Step into the industrial bustle of Avignon in 1860 on an immersive guided tour!
    Led by Madame Pernod, mother of a renowned dyer and dressed in historical outfit, you’ll relive the transformation of Avignon at the rhythm of the booming textile industry.

    In a vibrant area filled with the colours of fabrics and the sounds of busy workshops, discover how silk and indiennes (printed cottons) made the city famous—fuelled by the secret of madder red, a precious pigment that brought wealth to certain families.

    Madame Pernod will take you through the stories of those who shaped this era, like her son and the naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre, shedding light on the people behind the success of Avignon’s dyeing industry. She’ll also share key events and the social tensions of a city in full transformation.

    1.5-hour tour in small groups, for adults and children aged 8 and up.
