my city secret ...@ ....

I've been tagged by my chère Nihal from Istanbul , Turkey

Benji Lanyado, the columnist of The Guardian's Travel Blog aims to share the insider knowledge to your city across the blogs: to tell about a hidden place in a city, maybe a café, or a park, a gallery, or a bar, preferably in your city.

What is essential is to make things visible to our eyes talking unspoken beauties and recognizing the silent things from our world on our pages

my city is Aubagne

 

When I thought about my city secret , it had  something to do with handwork, art and history . Most of the places I love are like that!

It could have been my dad 's workshop , but it was too much easy and a little bit pretentious!

So follow me

 

go up the stairs

 

do you have an idea ...of what kind of place it is

 

 

 do you read the sign ?

 

 this is a place full of history , full of handwork and handworkers

 

this is a place full of art

 

part of the factory

this is a place in France where pots are still handmade

 

 

this is a place full of antiques

 

Here is the address :

Poterie Ravel

Avenue des goums

13400 Aubagne

http://www.poterie-ravel.com

you can visit their workshop every thursday at 10.30

to carry on the chain I tagged Karina from Buenos Aires to share with us her city secret ...She has already shared a lot with us.

I promise next city secret is a big one ....my dad's workshop
