Soulaines-Dhuys
Visit of the Tuilerie
If you're passing through the small village of Soulaines-Dhuys in the Aube department, don't miss a visit to the Tuilerie Poterie Artisanale ROYER. A visit to this authentic family business will take you back in time.
Did you know that a century ago, there were over 100 tile factories in Aube? Today, only 2 remain, including Tuilerie ROYER. Whether you're on your own, with family or friends, come and discover 5 generations of craftsmanship. Since 1850, the ROYER family has been working with private individuals, construction companies and numerous French and even European historic monuments.
Their secret? Respect for tradition and team spirit. You'll find out all about it when you visit this living eco-museum, where bricks, tiles, pottery and, of course, roof tiles are made! For half an hour, the owners will be delighted to show you the various stages in the manufacture of these quality terracotta products. And at the end of the tour, you can even buy some souvenirs.

About
Tuilerie-poterie artisanale Royer Jean-Louis
For 6 generations, the Royer family has been using traditional techniques to transform the beautiful clay of the Aube region into flamed tiles, bricks, roof tiles and pottery in a 100 m3 wood-fired kiln.
A visit to the large kiln is an astonishing and mysterious moment when the alchemy of fire transforms the clay, after 9 days of firing, into building products that will last for generations.
Come and meet us in our workshops steeped in history, and rediscover the charm and authenticity of old-fashioned artisan production. Individual and group visits are organized all year round, and pottery courses are available by appointment.
