Aubagne
Marcel Pagnol was born “In the city of Aubagne, at the foothills of Garlaban, crowned with goats, at the time of the last goatherds”.
On Thursday, February 28, 1895, around 5 p.m., “little Marcel” opened his eyes on the third floor at 16, Cours Barthélemy.
It was in front of his birthplace, now a museum, that he learned to walk and would remember his father, accompanied by giants, who played “la longue” (Provençal game) on the Cours Foch.
On the heights of the old town of Aubagne, as a final touch to your journey of history and clay work, you can discover a universe of more than 200 santons paying tribute to the literary and cinematographic creation of Marcel Pagnol.
Le Petit Monde de Marcel Pagnol, a fun and lively heritage museum, invites you to uncover this exceptional universe that he left us.
