Musée Frédéric-Mistral

The museum occupies a 19th-century residence with Mediterranean gardens featuring 67 plant species and multiple statues across 1000 square meters.

Frederic Mistral had this house built in 1876, where he lived for nearly 40 years and composed numerous literary works until his death in 1914.

The collection includes 60,000 letters received by Mistral throughout his life, 1,200 books from his personal library, and numerous paintings and photographs.

The museum will remain closed until March 2025 for renovations, but visitors can explore nine interactive kiosks throughout Maillane using the Maillane Connect application.

The Nobel Prize laureate specified in his testament that his house and belongings should become a museum after his and his wife's death.
