The Village de la Poterie is a unique site in Martinique:
By the richness of its historical and cultural heritage: the history of the men who lived and worked on the site belongs to the identity heritage of the island.

By the richness of its built heritage: the village is composed of many 18th century buildings: the old school, the grocery store, the Post Office and Telecommunications building... and "La rue Kay".

By the richness of its industrial and craft heritage: it is one of the oldest brickworks in France, still in activity, around which a craft village is developing with potters' workshops, art crafts, shops and restaurants.
