The reason for our visit to Provence was to visit the factory of L'Occitane en Provence (French pronunciation: [lɔksiˈtan ɑ̃ pʁɔvɑ̃s]) is an international retailer of body, face, and home products based in Manosque. The company was founded in 1976 by Olivier Baussan with the purpose to create a company that celebrates and preserves the traditions of his native Provence. L’Occitane means “the woman from Occitania”
Inspired by his childhood in Provence, the 23-year-old Olivier Baussan decided to recreate the traditions of his region. After purchasing a steam distiller, a relic from the past, Olivier harvested wild rosemary and produced pure Rosemary essential oil. He sold this essential oil at local markets, this all-natural product was quickly embraced by villagers and L'OCCITANE was born. I think I could do your training for you H
We had a fabulous and informative tour of the factory which was very modern we tested some of the lotions and potions and spent the rest of the day in the staff shop buying lots of goodies....my favorites have been the hand cream, the almond and pomme facial scrub and the verbena shampoo Mmmmmm they all smell yummy and I now have a L'Occitaine pamper day every week.
