| The harmony of
country houses and mansions |
Discover the french earthenware
 Another
production is that of the tile-makers for houses. Their
tiles are stamped on the bottom and often decorated
on top. There's nothing more beautiful than the marriage
of tiles and pottery. Starting with just a mass of clay,
they finish off with a harmony in country houses and
mansions. A whole way of life represented in the beauty
of the colours, the tender, tinted light, found even
in the homes of the poorest of peasants. And more so
in the rich and noble residences, with their porcelain.

Provence : land
of craftspeople |
The
old earthenware is in museums, a preserved heritage
of beauty and luxury. But everyone can satisfy their
taste in pottery, porcelain, and house tiles. Provence
is a land of craftspeople, for the pleasure of the eyes...
and the tastebuds : nothing is more delicious than a
stew cooked in a french earthenware pot.
