Don’t miss:
Boult, a traditional terracotta village. The combination of Boult sand and blue marl from Sorans-les-Breurey enabled a pottery to be established in 1730. As many as thirteen potters were working in Boult in 1835.
Today, two workshops are open to the public for tours, workshops and sales.
