About us
L’Atelier du Verger, artisan soaps and skincare from Fribourg
L’Atelier du Verger is a welcoming family business, founded over 25 years ago as La Maison Provençale.
Over 10 years ago, Caroline Caron took it over as L’Atelier du Verger. She has been hooked on artisan soap making ever since!
After professional training as a soap maker, she created her own range of soaps.
Her endless ideas and boundless imagination, sometimes tiring for those around her, found fertile ground here: a joyful soapy adventure for all the senses.
