Saint-Jean-la-Poterie: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Saint-Jean-la-Poterie is a commune located in the Brittany region of northwestern France. As its name suggests ('la Poterie' means 'the pottery' in French), the village has a historic connection to pottery craftsmanship.

The area was known for its pottery production from the Middle Ages until the early 20th century, largely due to the quality of its local clay deposits. The commune preserves elements of traditional Breton architecture and culture, while its pottery-making heritage represents an important part of the local cultural identity.

Today, while traditional pottery production has declined, the village maintains its connection to this craft through various cultural initiatives and historical preservation efforts.
