On the occasion of the construction of subdivisions during the 1990s, the association Jeunesse préhistorique et géologique de France (JPGF) de Villiers-le-Bel and subsequently the Musée national des arts et traditions populaires (today MuCEM) have uncovered a hundred pottery workshops in this valley. The unique remains of this activity, including a 13th-century potter’s kiln, are the heart of a development project and will soon be available to the public, accompanied by reconstructions to better understand this activity.
