The Village of La Poterie and Its Shops
At the end of a red-brick path, a noble symbol of the work of the earth, stands the Village of La Poterie, in Martinique — a place rich in history and authenticity. Once entirely dedicated to pottery, it has preserved the artisanal spirit of its origins while opening up to contemporary creation.
