Musée de Salagon

Situated 4km south of Forcalquier near Mane, this peaceful priory dates from the 13th century. It’s well worth a visit to wander around its medieval herb gardens, fragrant with native lavender, mint, mugwort and other medicinal plants. There's also a show garden of plants from around the world, and a jardin de senteurs that's been planted especially for its fragrances.

Inside the medieval walls, the museum's permanent and temporary exhibitions provide fascinating insights into rural life in Haute-Provence.
