Château de la Montagne

This 18th -century château with a 19th -century park by Choulot features a pottery manufacturing site. It was a well-known destination as a thermal spa in the 19th century. Members of French high society stayed there, including Empress Eugénie, the Queens of Spain and Portugal, Chateaubriand, and Nicolas de Staël.

The pottery manufacturing site on the estate, an industrial heritage complex from 1844,  produced major pieces of St. Honoré faïence highly valued and coveted by collectors.
