This typical Provencal village where Frederic Mistral was born, has the quaint and authentic charm of a rural village, magnified by the ever-present memory of the poet. The three houses where he has lived are open to the public. The Mas du Juge, where Mistral was born, hosts periodical cultural events. The Maison du Lézard hosts the town library as well as the tourism office. It is a place of research on the author. The house which he occupied until his death is now a Museum. It remains the way it was when Mistral lived in it. Created thanks to Mistral's notoriety and wealth, The Arlaten Museum in Arles presents collections that were put together by the poet. Make the most of your visit there with guided tours of the museum and its pedagogic workshops on the ethnographic Provencal heritage. |
