À propos du lieu

Tuilerie de Varennes-Saint-Sauveur

Le Bourg, 71480 Varennes-Saint-Sauveur

Saône-et-Loire
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

Restored in 1973 and added to the inventory of Historical Monuments, this 17th century building is a major testimony of pre-industrial architecture in Bresse. The tiles were built for the maintenance of the nineteen farms of the Desglands of Cessia property. Hollow tiles and paving bricks were manufactured there until 1932.
