The village of Malicorne-sur-Sarthe on the banks of the Sarthe is famous for its artistic earthenware. Be sure to visit Malicorne Earthenware Space - located on the site of an old 19th-century stoneware factory, this fun and interactive space tells the story of earthenware in Malicorne from the 18th century to our days, through its collections of old and contemporary ceramics.
There are also guided tours of the artistic earthenware workshops, so visitors can learn about the different stages of earthenware production, including the famous piercing technique, a speciality of Malicorne.
