The Jean Giono center is entirely devoted to the work and life of the famous Provençal writer native of Manosque. You can also visit his birthplace called Maison Le Paraïs by reservation. It is located in a dead end and is complementary to the Jean Giono center.

The Raffin hotel that you see in front of you is a superb 18th century Provençal building that belonged to Monsieur de Raffin, an eminent figure from Manosque. The center is, except on public holidays, open from Tuesday to Saturday.

Here is the link to the Centre Jean Giono: centrejeangiono.com.
Also very worth seeing almost directly next door: the exhibition on Carzou: The Apocalypse. ville-manosque.fr/fete-et-manifestation/exposition-permanente-lapocalypse-de-carzou
