Apporte ta brique au moulin

In connection with the cross-heritage inventory operation currently underway in the Villequier commune, this Rendez-vous du Parc invites you to take part in a sensory discovery of the village?s heritage, focusing on Villequier bricks and the presence of several mills in the commune. It's a fun and friendly way to discover the village's specific geology and hydrography, which led to the construction of several watermills, and the development of a clay extraction business (Kimmeridgian deposit) and a factory (les établissements céramiques de Villequier) producing bricks, tiles, cobblestones and other terracotta decorative elements (finials, planters, etc.) between 1866 and 1895. Some of these items were sent
some of these items were sent to former French colonies, and many bricks can still be seen in towns along the Seine.
Gaëlle Pottier, in charge of cross-heritage inventories at the Park, and guide Sandrine Pérégrine will lead this Rendez-vous du Parc during a sensory and cultural stroll.
This Rendez-vous du Parc is aimed at residents of Rives-en-Seine and, more broadly, at anyone with a passion for history, heritage and traditional culture.
