La Maison du Boutis

Über uns

Präsentation einer Sammlung von Boutis-Stickereien mit außergewöhnlichen Stücken aus dem 18. und 19. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme

The Maison du Boutis is a museum and workshop dedicated to the traditional art of boutis, a technique of embroidery in relief used to make clothes and household linen. The assembly of two pieces of fabric embellished with small-stitch embroidery will be ‘emboutied’ (trimmed) with strands of cotton. These works are dedicated to the happy events of life, and are above all highly symbolic motifs that are embroidered.
The museum has a unique collection tracing the history of this craft, which became an art form in its own right in the 18th and 19th centuries in Provence and the Bas-Languedoc. Come and discover these exceptional works.
Boutis embroidery has been listed as a French intangible cultural heritage site since 2019.

Introductory and advanced courses in the art of boutis and specific workshops, such as ‘indiennage à l’ancienne’ and ‘piqué marseillais’, are organised throughout the year. Guided group tours are also available by prior arrangement (maximum 15 people).

There is also a gift shop, offering souvenirs, introductory boutis kits, fabrics from the museum’s collection (reproductions of 18th-century originals) and a specialist bookshop.
