The Marché Potier, a major cultural event in Quercy Blanc
Raku, stoneware, porcelain or earthenware, the artists and potters at the Lauzerte market have been selected by the Terres Neuves du Sud-Ouest association for the quality and diversity of their creations. Gathered together in a spirit of sharing and conviviality, they'll be delighted to talk to you about their trades and techniques for tableware, jewelry, sculpture and decoration.
Take advantage of the opportunity to discover the landscapes on the Promenade de l'éveillé, designed in the 18th century to provide villagers with a walkway as well as a venue for the livestock fair. We recommend extending your walk to discover the magnificent medieval village of Lauzerte: as you wander through its narrow streets, you'll also have the pleasure of discovering the workshops of the village's art craftsmen.
