    • Nesmy pottery is a renowned traditional French craft, located in the Vendée department.


      Since its foundation in 1857, it has preserved and passed on a unique know-how through the generations, the 5ᵉ to date. Nesmy pottery stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship, made from local clay.

      Nesmy pottery creations include utilitarian and decorative objects, such as vases, bowls, plates and dishes. Each piece is shaped by hand, often on a potter's wheel, and features elegant forms and meticulous finishes. The potters use traditional throwing techniques, and you're welcome to come and discover this wonderful craft.


      Nesmy pottery is famous for its typical little flower, but there are other collections to discover too. Nesmy pottery is not only a testimony to the region's craft history, but also a living example of the continuity of traditional craftsmanship in the modern world.

    I loved the new design! The Poulpicans are still adorable, the new expressions and colors are great too. My grandson made some little clay creations, and they were very well received. I recommend you go and have a look and take the opportunity to think about gift ideas.

    Beautiful shop, many artists exhibited, the workshop is worth a visit, and they also offer pottery classes. Unfortunately, the workshop wasn't open that day. Ideal for a small souvenir.

    A wonderful discovery after a hike around Nesmy. This artisanal pottery workshop has been open since 1857 and is still family-run. You can visit the workshops before going into the shop, which makes the visit very interesting. There are many original ceramic pieces, made on-site, in several styles, including some very local Vendée pieces. An annex to the shop also showcases the work of other artists. A self-guided visit is highly recommended if you're in the area. Photos: Sept., Nov., and Dec. 2025
