The Bresle Valley

The valley of luxury glassmaking

Discreet but world-renowned, the Bresle valley has carried on an exceptional glassmaking tradition for centuries. Around 75% of the world market in luxury perfume bottles is made here, for houses such as Guerlain and Chanel.

The glass museum

At Blangy-sur-Bresle, the glass museum, housed in the Manoir de Fontaine, tells this story through fine collections. Glass-blowing demonstrations bring the skills of the master glassmakers back to life.

Practical information

  • Open April to October, Wednesday to Sunday afternoons (extended hours in July and August).
  • Allow around 35 minutes’ drive from the hotel.
  • Ideal for a cultural outing when the weather turns.
