About the location

Musée Souleïado - Musée du tissu provençal

39, rue Charles Deméry - 13150 Tarascon

Bouches-du-Rhone
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

In the 17th century, the first documents attesting the existence of a factory in Tarascon date back to 1806\. Charles DEMERY, heir to the factory, created the Souleïado brand in 1939 and founded the museum in 1988\. Installed in a very beautiful mansion, on the very premises of the family business, it traces the history of Indian manufacture. You can discover rare pieces of Provençal cloth and costume, a unique collection of pottery and mixed land from the region, as well as moving reconstructions of scenes of everyday life in Provence in the 19th century.
