Let the light guide you and discover Plombières-les-Bains through its stained glass windows, on October 11, 2026. Nestled in the heart of the Vosges mountains, this town with its rich spa and imperial past opens its doors to an often discreet artistic heritage, where every reflection tells a story.
The tour begins in the workshop of Lucas, a passionate stained-glass artist, who welcomes you into his world. You’ll see the tools, the pieces of colored glass and the techniques used to create or restore stained glass. He explains the stages of production, from design to assembly, and shows you how light transforms each creation. You’ll then follow him through the streets of Plombières-les-Bains to spot stained glass windows, sometimes visible on facades, sometimes hidden in more confidential places. This exploration teaches you to take a fresh look at the town and identify details that are often overlooked.
The tour continues in the recently renovated Espace Berlioz, where you’ll discover a restored stained-glass window by Art Nouveau master Gruber. This work highlights the artistic richness of stained glass and its integration into the architecture. Accessible to all, the tour unfolds at a leisurely pace, with plenty of time for discussion and observation. It concludes with a surprise tasting, to extend the experience in a convivial atmosphere.
Let yourself be surprised by this immersion between art and heritage, and reserve your place to discover Plombières-les-Bains in a different way.
