Marcigny is a town that has been occupied by humans for 200,000 years, situated on the main land and river routes. It is surrounded by three major prehistoric sites: Chassey-le-Camp to the north, Solutré to the east and Châtelperron to the west. Marcigny's ceramics date back to the Neolithic period, with the characteristics of Chassey's pottery. In Antiquity, many potters were present on the banks of the Loire, and throughout history Marcigny has become firmly rooted in the world of earthenware thanks to the Roannais region and Burgundy earthenware, particularly from Digoin and Charolles, as well as the modern establishment of the Emile Henry company, which is known as far afield as the United States.
