    We stopped in yesterday and we were both pleasantly surprised. The display is very well merchandised and extremely attractive. The selection is large and varied so please plan to take your time to fully explore the inventory and take the tour.

    (Translated by Google) I really enjoyed the guided tour of the factory, by a young girl who knows what she is talking about, to see the hand-made production of superb unique pieces is really very interesting. A superb boutique, again highlighted by quality staff. (Original) J'ai beaucoup apprécié la visite guidée de l'usine, par une jeune fille qui sait de quoi elle parle, voir ainsi la fabrication à la main de superbes pièces uniques est vraiment très intéressant. Une superbe boutique, là aussi mise en valeur par un personnel de qualité.

    Beautiful selection; kind service ... Of course the price is high but it's so well made and unique - that's what it takes. You can also order make basically whatever you want. Don't hesitate to ask - it's surprising how accommodating they can be.

    (Translated by Google) A very beautiful craft with traditional collections and others more modern. Of course, the most beautiful pieces have a certain price, but you can also buy "small" objects there at reasonable prices (salt-proivre 37 €). (Original) Un très bel artisanat avec des collections traditionnelles et d'autres plus modernes. Bien sûr, les plus belles pièces on un prix certain mais on peut aussi y acheter des "petits" objets à prix raisonnable (ensemble sel-proivre 37€).

  • 2/5 Sol .. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very beautiful earthenware but an execrable welcome in the shop (the person in their fifties) takes pride, it is not because we are young that we are not going to buy from you ... too bad we had made a detour to about thirty km for you ...! (Original) Très belles faïences mais accueil exécrable dans la boutique (la personne dame cinquantaine) prend de haut, ce n'est pas parce que nous faisons jeunes que nous n'allons pas acheter chez vous... dommage nous avions fait un détour d'une trentaine de km pour vous...!

    If your into pottery then it's definitely worth a visit although they had some very nice but as you would expect expensive. They did have some touristy bits at more reasonable prices

    (Translated by Google) Great visit. A young person who explains very well. Too bad we can't take a photo, especially when the workers have left for lunch. It would have made us great visual memories! (10/08) (Original) Super visite. Une jeune qui explique très bien.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful earthenware to discover, beautiful typical Breton pieces, staged. To see if you pass in the region. Next to the Quimper biscuit factory, and before you take a tour of the Cathedral and the picturesque center of Quimper.

    (Translated by Google) A great classic from Brittany and Quimper. To do if you like earthenware with traditional but also more modern decorations. Good to know: quality has a price (Original) Un grand classique de la bretagne et de Quimper. A faire si vous aimez la faïence aux décors traditionnels mais aussi plus modernes.

  • 2/5 Marcelline S. 7 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    When nothing else to do, which Quimper itself does not have much ! then do the tourist visit here. But be warned, if you work on a strict budget then you are about to feel even more poor! I appreciate everything is hand painted, but when there are objects with no hand painting and clearly made from a mould and not each piece hand sculptured and still demand 6 figure prices or even those with slight paint work and mass produced, then I know its a rip off ! However, there is one very 8nteresting artist who painted seafood dinner set which is beautiful and quirkey because the table cloth matches and flows with tablecloth. However it is limiting as it is made for a small table of six people and the cloth "painting" as an image transfer and abviously as its painted with lobsters your 6-figure price tag dinner set is limited to seafood soirée

  • 4/5 sylvie f. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Remarkable work and fascinating visit of the manufacture of earthenware objects. These craftsmen are true artists who perpetuate their old-fashioned know-how. A real discovery and a real pleasure to see this skill and patience for each work produced. A must see (Original) Travail remarquable et visite passionnante de la fabrication des objets en faïence.

  • 4/5 Sylvain P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful visit by a very passionate and therefore fascinating young lady! The demonstrations are interesting and bring a playful side especially for the youngest. Too bad we can't participate directly. Finally, the visit was a bit short for our taste. To discover ! (Original) Belle visite par une jeune demoiselle bien passionnée et donc passionnante ! Les démonstrations sont intéressantes et apportent un côté ludique notamment pour les plus jeunes. Dommage que l'on ne puisse pas y participer directement. Enfin, la visite était un peu courte à notre goût. À découvrir !

  • 5/5 Marie Agnès S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice shop. Wonderful work. But not for all budgets 😢. It is true that everything is handmade and that it is a pure Breton product. So I didn't take anything but I admired a lot (Original) Très belle boutique. Magnifique travail. Mais pas pour toutes les bourses 😢. C'est vrai que tout est fait main et que c'est un pur produit breton. Donc je n'ai rien pris mais j'ai beaucoup admiré

  • 3/5 Ivanohé J. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The work is of remarkable quality. Handmade as we like. On the other hand, disappointed with the visit: why propose a visit if it is to continually "push the buttocks"? For the paintings not even had time to understand and see. The pretext is that it bothers painters. Fan of visits and understanding the know-how, either it is necessary to organize the premises to allow visits in a better spirit (window without complexion?) Or not to offer them. But I was much more satisfied to visit glassworks, weaver, etc. where we took the time to visit and especially to see the artists and their know-how, than where a lot of things were too fast. (Original) Le travail est d'une qualité remarquable. Du fait main comme on aime. En revanche, déçu de la visite : pourquoi proposer une visite si c'est pour continuellement "pousser aux fesses"? Pour les peintures même pas eu le temps de comprendre et voir. Le prétexte est que cela dérange les peintres. Fan des visites et de comprendre le savoir faire, soit il faut organiser les locaux pour permettre des visites dans un meilleur esprit (fenêtre sans teint ?) ou ne pas en proposer. Mais j'ai été bien plus satisfait de visiter des verreries, tisserand, etc où l'on prenait le temps de visiter et surtout de voir les artistes et leur savoir faire, que là où beaucoup de choses pont été trop rapides.
