Fayencez-vous ! : ceramics in the spotlight in Grand Charolais
Grand Charolais is a land of ceramics. Since the 19th century, the Digoin and Charolles factories have perpetuated artisanal know-how recognized throughout France. It is to celebrate this living heritage that the Fayencez-vous ! festival was created in 2023, supported by the Intercommunal Tourist Office of Grand Charolais.
A travelling festival between three ceramic towns
The originality of Fayencez-vous ! lies in its travelling nature. The festival unfolds across three emblematic towns of Burgundian ceramic heritage: Digoin, the cradle of the famous stoneware factory founded in 1875, Charolles, renowned for its exceptional earthenware, and Paray-le-Monial, a city of art that houses the Paul Charnoz museum and its remarkable collections.
Activities for enthusiasts and the curious
The program for each edition is a true gastronomic menu for lovers of ceramic arts:
- Exclusive visits to the workshops of the Faïencerie de Charolles and the Manufacture de Digoin 1875
- 100% ceramic flea market and tableware fair on the Place de la Grève in Digoin
- Conferences on the history of tableware and ceramic heritage
- Unusual guided tours of industrial sites bearing witness to local heritage
- Factory sales at exceptional prices in the factories
Ceramics go to the table! — 2026 Theme
For its third edition in 2026, Fayencez-vous ! explores the relationship between ceramics and gastronomy under the theme "Ceramics go to the table!".
