What French town is famous for pottery?
1 Answer
There isn't a single French town famous for pottery, as numerous villages and cities in the country have an important place in the art form's history. Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye has been nicknamed the “Capital of Pottery,” as artisans have been producing pieces there since the 14th century. Other places in France that are well-known centers for pottery production include Vallauris, Soufflenheim, Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie, Moustiers, La Borne, Monflanquin and Aixe-sur-Vienne.
