Musée de l'Olivier

The Musée de l'Olivier in Nyons is a place where the history and practice of olive oil making are shown through exhibits and traditional tools. It displays the different steps from harvesting to processing, with focus on methods commonly used in this region.

The cooperative du Nyonsais was founded in 1923 to bring olive growers together and support their production. This partnership helped the region protect and develop its olive oil making.

The name comes from the olive, which has shaped daily life and commerce here for centuries and remains visible throughout the town. Local people use this space to share their connection to olive farming and introduce visitors to a tradition that defines the region.

This place is open in the afternoons most days, with different hours on weekends. Visitors can taste and buy products on site, which is a good way to discover local quality.

The store offers black olives with protected origin status, a local specialty that can only be made in this region. This quality mark is an important reason why the products here are especially sought after.
