What Makes French Soap So Special?

It’s not just the shape. It’s the story. French soaps — especially from Provence — are made using ancestral methods, gentle ingredients, and time. At Le Chatelard 1802, we still pour and cut our soaps by hand, using oils, clays, and scents from our own region. Whether it’s lavender, olive, or shea butter, every bar is rich in care, not chemicals. No rush. No shortcuts. Just good, honest soap that makes your skin (and your sink) happy.
