Museum housing an old 19th century kiln, classified as a historical monument, to learn more about the manufacture of porcelain.

This museum, run by the Espace Porcelaine association, houses a former 19th-century round kiln, listed as a Monument Historique. 20 meters high and 7 meters wide, this remarkably well-preserved vestige, unique in France, gives an idea of the human activity and mastery of fire required to operate this brick monster, which fired 15,000 pieces of porcelain simultaneously. To get the most out of the site, we recommend a guided tour, which is highly instructive.

Il s’agit d’une viste courte mais c’est une Visite recommandée. Aussi pour acheter la porcelaine typique de limoges caractérisée pour être translucide et la beauté de pièces que s’allument, la lithophanie! Très beau!… en plus pour marcher vers là il y a des beaux paysages sur la Vienne et les jolies ponts!
