"Entering the Pottery of Mesnil de Bavent is entering the world of potters, as it existed centuries ago, a magical place conducive to walking and historical discovery. Buildings more than a century and a half old house craftsmen whose working methods are still the same.”
La Poterie du Mesnil de Bavent has been an artisanal business since 1842. On site, roofing accessories are manufactured, including ridge spikes, punches, crested ridges and interior and exterior architectural elements. It is rare and authentic know-how in a unique place. Craftsmen of Heaven!
The pottery has a museum space, a shop and exhibition rooms. It is possible to see the manufacturing work through the windows.
During school holidays (excluding Christmas and winter), casting workshops for children are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. and in summer, guided tours of the workshops are available on Tuesdays at 15 p.m. only in July and August (registration with the Merville tourist office).
The "Village of the creative artisans of the Poterie" is located on the site. You will discover craftsmen of year-round arts and crafts and second-hand dealers. Some shops are ephemeral: renewal and great discoveries guaranteed! The opening hours of each shop vary depending on the presence of each one. To find out which craftsmen are present, do not hesitate to call the Poterie.
