Hiking

Here it is possible to visit the oldest olive oil mills in Nyons (18th and 19th centuries) and the historic 18th century soap factory, unique in France to this day, as well as an old kitchen from Haute-Provence.

The precious Huile d'Olives de Nyons AOC is only made from small olives. The olives are ground and pressed by a heavy millstone until a thick paste is formed. Only then does the second pressing, the hydraulic pressing, take place. The yield from this hard work is small. "Four to five kilos of fruit are needed for each litre of cold-pressed oil.

Very interesting museum. You are guided through the rooms by video and get a good insight into the work of an old olive mill.
You can also have a nice cup of coffee here and there is a wide range of olives and other products.
