The museum gives a familiar sweet a material history: almonds, harvesting equipment and confectionery processes explain what goes into a calisson. Displays connect older tools with present production, while the surrounding almond gardens extend the subject outdoors. It works as a food-culture visit rather than simply a shop stop, although reaching the factory requires transport beyond the central walking circuit.
