The Moulin des Bouillons Museum

The Moulin des Bouillons Museum is located in Gordes, on the Route de Saint-Pantaléon, in a 3 hectare park that also houses the Musée du Verre et du Vitrail only 20 minutes from the Hôtel du Parc de Cavaillon

 
On this Gallo-Roman site, you can admire the olive oil mill, a "blood" mill, dating from the 16th century and classified as a Historical Monument. It is one of the most exceptional mills in the Mediterranean basin, perfectly preserved, with its tanks dug in the rock and its Roman pipes. Monumental, it weighs 7 tons, and its lever in a single oak barrel measures 10m.
 
The visit tells the story of olive oil and Marseille soap in the Mediterranean.
