Four médiéval

Nestled in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers hills, Sadirac, a small village 20 km from Bordeaux, is an important pottery center. In its subsoil lies a treasure: a blue clay of a great plastic quality particularly appreciated by potters. The tradition of pottery in Sadirac goes back to the Antiquity with an important development from the 14th century to the end of the 19th century. There were fifty active kilns in the commune of Sadirac around which a whole activity was organized, punctuated by the firing of the clay. Some of the kilns are still visible, such as the reconstitution of the medieval kiln near the Maison de la Poterie.
