"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.”
Poterie du Mesnil de Bavent located in Normandy, has been a craft company since 1842, 180 years of production on the same site of Bavent in Calvados.
On site, roofing accessories are manufactured, including ridge caps, punches, peaked ridges and interior and exterior architectural elements.
Ceramic animals (cat, dog, chicken, rooster, etc.), sometimes life-size, as close as possible to reality, are also made. 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. Guided tour of the workshops by appointment for groups only or according to schedule during open days and European crafts and heritage days.
Every month, La Poterie offers a new exhibition in its art gallery (painting, sculpture, etc.).
The “Pottery Village” is located on the site. You will discover year-round craftsmen and second-hand dealers. Some shops are ephemeral: renewal and great discoveries guaranteed! The opening hours of each store vary depending on the presence of each person. To find out about the artisans present, do not hesitate to call La Poterie.
