Marcel between nature and memory

Step back in time and discover eternal Provence as told by Marcel Pagnol, a local boy who loved the hills.

Let yourself be guided through the Domaine de la Font de Mai, a protected natural setting at the foot of the Garlaban mountains. Here, among the terraces, sheds, olive trees and scents of thyme, memories of authentic rural Provence come alive, where you can still hear the laughter of children, the song of the cicadas and stories told by the fireside.

Guided by the voice of an enthusiast, you’ll walk in the footsteps of little Marcel, discover the emblematic places of his work, between literature and cinema, and share a timeless moment at the crossroads of memory, nature and culture.

A sensitive and lively journey through the Provence of yesteryear, the Provence of simple people, secret hills and lasting memories.
