The forest surrounds Lacapelle-Biron, a village born in the 18th century from the impatience of the Marquis de Biron, who could not stand the noise of the market held at the foot of his castle.

Bernard Palissy, born in Saint-Avit-sur-Lède around 1510, was an apprentice glassmaker in Biron. He owes his fame mainly to his achievements in the field of architectural decoration (grottoes, fountains, stoves) and luxury tableware, which is characterized by different types of decoration: naturalist (the "rustic" and "jaspés"), but also figurative and ornamental (interlacing, leather, grotesques...). It was the perfection with which he reproduced animals, plants and rocks that made Palissy exceptional in the art of clay. His personal production merges with that of his sons and disciples, known as the Palissy school. A Huguenot, he was arrested in 1589 and locked up in the Bastille where he died the same year. His work was revived in the 19th century by imitators such as Charles Avisseau in Tours and Georg

When we talk about the gastronomic heritage of the South-West, we often refer to many specialities, but very rarely to the tourtière. A tourtière is a sugary pastry made from baked apples flavoured with plum brandy and rum, covered with petals of dough that have been hand-stretched very thinly. Sophie, a native of the region, observed her husband's great-grandmother making tourtières, and soon asked her to share her knowledge so that this culinary tradition could be perpetuated. And the result is quite a success! Her tourtières are generous, fragrant and perfectly crispy... a real delight for the eyes and the taste buds. On your marks, get set, enjoy!

To pay tribute to this avant-garde, the museum presents each year, from mid-May to the end of September, exhibitions of renowned contemporary ceramists on a theme that changes each year: "White" in 2025. On the second weekend of August, forty potters take part each year in a large Pottery Fair in the medieval hamlet.
