Built on a barrier of tuff secreted by the "Laloux" spring, Varages was a village of potters, which became in 1695 the village of faience. The first master pottery makers of Varages were Joseph II de Clérissy and Étienne Armand.

In 1789, in addition to the activity of the potters, there were no less than 8 factories and 5 glaze mills.

Varages can be reached via the D35, D561 and D554 roads.
