Nearly 1,000 people discover the works of 15 artists
Under a radiant sun, Villa Frouin, in Hyères, hosted its first Festival de la Céramique on the weekend of June 28 and 29.

The public turned out in large numbers, with nearly 950 visitors discovering the worlds of the 15 selected ceramic artists. Along the paths, the Villa was transformed into a small Provençal village where people strolled from stand to stand, admiring original works and varied techniques, ranging from utilitarian pieces to the most daring sculptures. More than 180 creations found buyers, demonstrating the public's enthusiasm and the artists' dynamism. Visitors appreciated the warm welcome organized by the "Team Frouin", attentive to everyone's comfort with cooling areas, rest spaces, and a friendliness that won unanimous praise. Building on this experience, Villa Frouin looks forward to welcoming the public in September for the Journées Européennes du Patrimoine, which promises more artistic discoveries and new moments of sharing.
