How to make "croustades à l'Armagnac"
While you travel round the Gers, you will find Serge and Sylvie's shop close to Mirande, with their know-how to make the real Armagnac croustade with different flavours right in front of you. Amongst their products, which are always homemade, is the brand new Armagnac and foie gras croustade, a delicious blend of typical Gers products.
Inspired by ancient pottery Sue Ure makes pots that are both classic and contemporary. All her work is thrown using white stoneware or porcelain and her production includes tableware, vases, and one off pieces. Special items can be made to order. Some pots are decorated using slip or lustres, others are simply glazed to emphasise their clean lines.
During your visit, Sue will explain the different stages in the production of her pots.
