1475

The history of La Rochère begins in Burgundy-Franche-Comté in the 15th century. Simon de Thysac, a gentleman glassmaker, settled in the Vosges mountains and created the factory for strategic and economic reasons. At the time, this region of France was an axis of trade between the North and the South, Italy and the Netherlands. It was also a region oriented towards Europe. “Bourgogne-Franche-Comté was ideal for raw materials, such as wood, silica, water”

The art of glass

For more than 500 years, surrounded by the flamboyant forests of Haute-Saône, we have worked with glass in an authentic and passionate way at Passavant La Rochère, which makes the company the oldest glassworks still in operation in Europe. Our unique know-how is the heritage of several generations of men and women who shaped glass and passed on their knowledge.
