The region of the park's natural verdon is also the region of the faïcence. With the museum of ceramics in Moustiers, you discover the superb ceramics artists from the region and their history.
The manufacture of earthenware held a very important part in the history of Moustiers. Indeed, many potters lived and worked in the sixteenth and seventeenth century.
The museum will help you understand how an earthenware is made and what is its value (fine lines, the weight of the object…). You can also get acquainted with works by contemporary artists.
You can finally visit the workshop Saint-Michel, where Martial Baudey, best worker in France, will open its doors. You can admire and learn, for example, her jewelry glazed terra de Moustiers.
