C'est ici que le vase Boisset – si vous ne le connaissez pas encore, c'est l'occasion de réviser vos classiques - est né, à la toute fin du XVIème siècle. Un potier, médusé par la beauté d'un vase Médicis pendant la foire de Beaucaire, décide à son tour de créer le sien. Le vase sera plus rustique et plus trapu. Monumental de par sa taille, il sert à planter les orangers et les citronniers qui peuplent les jardins des grands de la Cour de Louis XIV. Découvrez ce qu'il devient aujourd'hui. Quand vous vous promènerez dans le village, jetez un œil aux diverses monuments : la tour de l'horloge, la place couverte, la fontaine Pagode, la tour de Pezene, le parc des Cordeliers… une vraie balade à travers l'histoire.
