The visit begins in the park, in the shade of the trees. Olivia tells you the story of the bastide, its origins in the 18th century, and then her own journey: taking over the property, the renovation work, and the birth of a project centered on the white fig of Salernes.
You then discover the different areas of the estate: the outdoors, the welcoming spaces, and the workshop where the house specialties are made. Your host explains the harvests, the same-day processing, the successive cookings, and the recipes she has refined over the years.
Finally, the visit concludes with a tasting. Around a friendly table, Olivia invites you to sample several specialties: candied figs, jam, syrup, vinegar, and her fig-based aperitif. A complete experience, from place to flavor.

Local craftswoman & host of the Bastide
Olivia is one of those hosts who love to share: a sense of detail, a good taste, and genuine pride in local culinary heritage. Together with Jérôme, she welcomes you by appointment and introduces you to the white fig of Salernes through artisanal, handmade production faithful to traditional recipes.
Built in the 18th century, Bastide du Capelier opens onto a one-hectare park with a pond and shaded terraces. The Capelier district has a singular history, tied to the know-how of times past. People come here for the gentle atmosphere of the place, and leave with the delicate flavor of the white fig of Salernes.
