We will go for a walk on the cobblestone streets, plunging more and more into the Middle Ages. Many atelliers offer products from porcelain (‘faience’) for every taste. We will visit one of them – a pottery workshop that for more than 200 years turns clay into real fine pieces of art using medieval technology.

The owner of the store will tell you a lot of interesting things about the history of porcelain and his workshop.
