About the location

Rue du vieux bourg, 45750 Saint-Pryvé-Saint-Mesmin

Loiret
Centre-Val de Loire

The brick oven of Saint-Pryvé-Saint-Mesmin is the last vestige, in the entire territory of the Orleans metropolis, of an industrial past that has now disappeared. It is in a good state of preservation. It is the worthy witness of the semi-artisanal tile industry, very flourishing in the eighteenth century and still significant in the nineteenth, in the municipality of Saint-Pryvé-Saint-Mesmin.
