Such is the case with pots, dishes and other containers. The history of pottery<\/strong> in the country of Dieulefit-Bourdeaux started more than 2000 years ago. The activity developed thanks to the presence of clay in the soil, as well as water from the Rh\u00f4ne and forests. The workshops flourished during the Gallo-Roman period, but it was only more recently, in the 19th century, that pottery took off in the Jabron valley<\/strong>, the river that crosses Dieulefit. These days, there are then a hundred workshops in activity.<\/p>\n Today, the tradition continues. The main street of the village and the surrounding area are dotted with ceramic workshops and art galleries<\/strong>, which fascinates visitors every year. The history of pottery in Dieulefit is closely linked to the history of art in the region, which has always attracted painters, photographers and other artists who came for the light of Provence and the colorful landscapes of Dr\u00f4me.<\/strong><\/p>\nHistory of pottery<\/h2>\n
