Coup
A town with a long history in ceramics..

Some of the best examples

Are the signs in town!

In the summer, we find it is best to visit the sights on weekdays to minimize the crowds. This Thursday we went up to Desvres in order to see a museum that Kathy has been interested in. Its hours in the winter are limited to the afternoon, so this was a great day to go. The town has a history of commercial cermaics production and this is reflected in the museum and the town itself. I escpecially enjoy the Pelforth pelicans which are still used by the brewery for promotion today. Check out the building pictures - the building exterior is a nice as the inside. Museum of Ceramics
