Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye

Combo ticket includes historic kiln workshop 200m away
See "toulons" and "crapauds," iconic local cookware

Four centuries of pottery history unfold inside a Renaissance castle, from rustic "toulons" and "crapauds" to dreamy Art Nouveau pieces by Jean Carriès and his disciples. The utilitarian stoneware born in Puisaye's clay-rich soil conquered kitchens across France before artists transformed the craft into something magical.
