Manufacture de Digoin
The factory des Grès et Poteries de Digoin was at the beginning a hand-crafted and familial business found in 1875, along the central canal in Burgundy.
Around 1900, the area of Digoin and Paray-le-Monial, known as the ‘Ceramic Valley’ – was home to about forty factories, each one had specific skills (making roof tiles, bricks, decorative tiles, etc.).
Since 1875, craftspeople from Manufacture de Digoin have been shaping garden potteries made of stoneware. Their ambition is to perpetuate a legendary know-how. Sleeping beauty for many years, the Manufacture came back to life in 2014, when Corinne Jourdain gathered investors to save the company.
Her ambition was to perpetuate a historical expertise and to bring back to former glory those meaningful culinary objects.

Valerie Casado
It is in her workshop of Vaucluse, in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, that this Bordeaux woman in the heart of Provence devotes herself to the art of the table. Pure, poetic, with delicately shredded contours, her crockery appears sugar-coated, of a sacred whiteness. Flared cups, slender vases, corolla cups delicately form the earth.
A red earth that Valerie works with the fingertips, without thinking of the result. No intellectualization, only instinct guides her actions and lets her hands speak, an extension of the earth tells us the potter. The earth that she loves to feel, touch and that has always permeated her life.
Marius Fabre
For over 120 years and through four generations, our family has been trying to keep our ever threatened know-how alive : making true Marseille soap by conserving the techniques of saponification in cauldrons. Our secret is the knack passed down through generations, from father to son, then from father to daughter. Our primary concern is the high quality of our raw materials. Our soap is made using only vegetable oils, especially olive oil. No colorants or synthetic substances are added. This exceptional purity renders it beneficial for the skin and environmental-friendly. All our products follow the same line of thought. This know-how, patience and rigour are the rules which allow the Marius Fabre soap factory to produce a Marseille soap of peerless quality. Today, we are proud to carry on the tradition started here in 1900 by our great grand-father, Marius Fabre.” Marie et Julie Bousquet-Fabre
