Earthenware is an art!
Voted 9th favorite monument of the French in 2015, the Moulin de la Blies combines two exceptional places on a single site.
An industrial wasteland? A garden? A work of art? It is all of these at the same time, the Jardin des Faïenciers! A place to walk and escape thanks to a setting that combines nature with the historical heritage of the banks of the Blies. Here, old millstones or brick chimneys rub shoulders with Steppe lilies and other hydrangeas in bloom during the summer, and in the autumn, let yourself be surprised by the smell of gingerbread from the cake trees. The colours, plants and other little creatures that populate the garden vary with the seasons and evoke the inspiration of the earthenware decorators of past centuries.
On the same site, another must-see: the Museum of Faience Techniques. It is as if nothing has changed since the workers left. On the tables, piles of plates seem ready to be fired or decorated, in the middle of the room there are still trolleys of raw material and between two machines a dryer loaded with pieces. Interactive demonstrations are occasionally given to the public in this atmosphere of almost completely reconstructed production workshops. From the preparation of the clay, to the different firings, through the decoration, you will learn all you need to know about the techniques of earthenware manufacture and tableware!
Free on the first Sunday of each month and during the Christmas Market.
