Description

As early as the Gallo-Roman period, the clay deposits of the Dropt valley favoured the establishment of tile works. At Les Carreaux de Gironde in Morizes, this Gallo-Roman kiln, still in working order, was replaced, for reasons of profitability, by a gas furnace in the 1980s. In the tile factory, it was used to fire 100 tons of terracotta placed precisely according to the desired colour of the tiles. Their firing required 4 days and 4 nights, 50 steres of wood and 4,000 to 5,000 bundles of pine needles.
