In Ger, the Musée de la céramique – Centre de création occupies a former pottery-making hamlet in Normandy's bocage countryside. Between the 15th and early 20th centuries, residents made numerous stoneware pots for storing and transporting food.
In the potters' footsteps
The visit takes in the master potter's house, workshops, drying shed and large tunnel kilns. Objects and educational displays explain each stage, from extracting clay to the delicate firing of pots. Visitors also learn how craft families organised their daily lives.
A craft that continues today
The centre presents contemporary ceramics, hosts artists in residence and, depending on its programme, offers courses and workshops. The connection between heritage and present-day making is central to the visit.
At 3 rue du Musée, Le Placître, the site has seasonal opening periods in 2026. Certain areas are difficult for visitors with reduced mobility to access.
