Go there and contact
Museum with an original collection of and costumes and jewelry recounting the lives of Provence's women.
At the entrance to the old town of Grasse, a magnificent mansion opens its doors to you: the former home of the Marquise de Cabris, Mirabeau's sister. This historic building, once used as a revolutionary court, now houses the Musée Provençal du Costume et du Bijou, a unique venue that brings to life the elegance and traditions of yesteryear.
Founded by Hélène Costa in 1997, it is the fruit of her passion for Provençal traditions. Throughout her life, she has painstakingly assembled a remarkable collection of clothing and jewelry, bearing witness to the refinement and savoir-faire of the region. You'll discover sumptuous dresses, quilted petticoats, delicate lace finery, as well as hair ornaments and typical jewelry dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Each piece tells a story, that of the women of Provence and their daily lives, blending tradition and elegance.
The visit takes place in a succession of small, intimate salons, arranged around a superb staircase. The atmosphere is inviting, offering a striking contrast with the tumultuous history of this ancient residence. Every detail of the furnishings reflects Hélène Costa's love of Provençal culture and art de vivre.
Classified as one of Grasse's jewels, this museum transports you back in time to the heart of Provence's clothing and ornamental traditions. A must-see for all heritage enthusiasts.
