Go there and contact
The Gombert Castle, a large Provencal property north of Aubagne is the ideal place for a private museum of art and for some popular traditions of Provence which are still alive. Preserving and showing the rich heritage of the region was the wish of Jean-Baptiste Julien Pignol and Frédéric Mistral, the founders of the museum, which was opened on June 25th, 1928 (Museon Art Prouvençau). For 80 years, the permanent collections have increase with thousands of objects in 9 rooms. The Provencal kitchen with its 13 Christmas dessert tables, the children's room, the lounge and Renaissance landscape tapestries of the seventeenth century, the music room, the Saint-Eloi room, the bourgeois room, the figurines room, the agrarian room, the chapel ... Temporary exhibitions, workshops, calendar of classical music, romantic restaurant, wine cellar, obviously, the association that manages the place since 1981 knows how to come up with fresh ideas to inspire visitors to come and spend time on the site.
