Uzech-Les-Oules

Shaped by hand and time

Here, gestures count as much as places. At Uzech les Oules, clay becomes art, silence becomes welcome.

The village Potters

Potters from generation to generation

Clay has been worked here for generations. Clay, water, fire: the potters of Uzech perpetuate a rare know-how. The workshops are like chapels. The pieces are there, unique, silent, born of a mastered gesture. A living heritage, rooted in everyday life.

Village Of matter & light

The houses are clustered around a quiet square. The alleyways are sober, and people look at each other with kindness. Everything exudes simplicity. Nothing here is set in stone, but everything seems to be in its place. And you find yourself slowing down.

All around, the Quercy countryside unfolds seamlessly. Small roads, hidden lanes, clear woods: everything invites you to stroll, cycle and contemplate. It’s an ideal place for those seeking tranquillity without isolation, authenticity without folklore.
