Biography
Louis Méténier (1844-1922) is a French potter and ceramist living in Gannat (Allier).
His son Gilbert Méténier, born in Moulins on September 30, 1876, succeeded him in 1920 and ensured the reputation of Méténier sandstone.
The activity continued until 1940, when Gilbert Méténier would have destroyed all the molds "so that they do not fall into the hands of the occupier"; he then went to live in Saint-Raphaël, where we lose track of him.
