The Oldest Master Glassmaking Workshop: Lorin Workshops in Chartres

It is one of the oldest master glassmaking workshops in the world to still be in operation, 160 years after its creation. In the lower town of Chartres, on the banks of the Eure, the Lorin workshops have braved many storms: absence of heirs to whom to pass on the know-how that built the reputation of the city of Chartres, financial difficulties, liquidation judicial, in 2016, which pushed the City to buy the walls to save this place listed as a historic monument.
