La Garde-Freinet · LE GOLFE / DISCOVER
Before seeing the Maures simply as forest scenery, the Conservatoire helps you understand its trades and skills. Chestnuts, cork, silkworms and Fort-Freinet history shape this village visit. Our idea: go before a walk, then recognise more of the stories held by the trees and stone.

“CHESTNUTS. CORK. FREINET MEMORIES.”
FIND YOUR RHYTHM
01
Exhibitions cover chestnut growing, cork harvesting and silkworm rearing. Another room focuses on Fort-Freinet. Our advice: choose a theme that interests you and let objects, photographs and explanations offer another view of the area.
02
The museum occupies Chapelle Saint-Jean on the RD 558 in La Garde-Freinet. Use authorised nearby parking and finish on foot. The marker identifies the reception site; ask about arrangements if your group has specific access needs.
03
The Conservatoire lists free entry Monday–Friday, 9am–1pm and 2pm–5pm, excluding public holidays. Confirm opening before a special trip. Workshops, walks and other activities have separate programmes and booking arrangements; museum entry does not include every activity.
BEYOND THE FIRST LOOK
Our suggestion: pair the museum with a village stroll. A climb to the cross or Fort-Freinet can follow if conditions and your group allow, but requires separate planning. The museum is also a worthwhile outing in its own right.
