Maison Brémond 1830

Historic Olive Mill in Roussillon

Built at the end of the 19th century, this mill pressed olives for local villagers until the devastating freeze of 1956. Abandoned for nearly 60 years, it was meticulously restored by Maison Brémond and opened to the public. Visitors explore the original machinery, including the still-functional wheel, witnessing the timeless craft of Provençal oléiculture.

Gourmet Epicerie Fine

Above the mill lies La Maison des Bonnes Choses, a fine grocery presenting an exquisite range of Provençal specialties. Discover a diverse collection of extra virgin olive oils from 11 high-Provence producers using ancestral, eco-respectful methods. Olives harvested green or ripe yield nuanced flavors, complemented by basil-infused oils, truffle pastas, pistachio spreads, and citrus confitures.

Provençal Sweet and Savory Delights

Indulge in house-made calissons d'Aix with almond and melon confit, nougats with Provence IGP honey and pistachios, and chocolate-enrobed almonds from Banon artisans. Savory offerings include truffle salts, Provençal pestos, and spice blends, all crafted with terroir ingredients for authentic Southern gastronomy.

Village Context and Surroundings

Located at 21 Rue Richard Casteau in Roussillon, known as Provence's Colorado for its ochre cliffs, the site neighbors the Ochre Trail with 30- and 50-minute hikes through vivid, wind-sculpted landscapes. In the Luberon Regional Park, it invites exploration of the region's natural and cultural heritage.
