Comfortably installed between sologne and sancerrois, the small village of the terminal is a stage impossible to circumvent for the amateurs of art, pottery, ceramics and nature. Part of the ancient sovereign principality of Boisbelle, enclosed in Berry, the hamlet of La Bore is ideally located in the heart of the forest on an important sandstone seam. Thanks to the exploitation of its natural resources and the assimilation of new firing techniques, it became an important place for the creation of pottery from the 15th century. Although this production was essentially practical and linked to the needs of rural life, it also embodied some elements of local popular culture and the pottery began to become objects of art and collection. In the xxth century, great figures such as jean and jacqueline lerat, andré rozay, anne kjaersgaard, vassil ivanoff or jean linard came to create. Around pottery and ceramics, its artists of various inspirations have managed to make this village a place not to be missed where we like to come and see these craftsmen exercise their know-how directly in their workshops.
