Since 1783, the Poterie des Trois-Îlets has existed, making it one of the oldest companies in Martinique. The Village de la Poterie is located on the site of a former Jesuit convent established at the end of the 17th century. Its main activity has always been working with clay.
Over the years, the Poterie des Trois-Îlets has expanded the crafts of terracotta, combining industry (production of bricks, tiles, and floor tiles) with craftsmanship (terracotta pottery).
Today, the Village de la Poterie houses many historic structures and authentic Creole cottages occupied by artisans, potters, and shopkeepers, as well as one of the oldest brickworks still operating in France.
