Steeped in a rich history, Villa René Lalique pays homage to its founder's remarkable career as a renowned master jeweller, and later a master glassmaker. After gaining fame at the 1900 Universal Exhibition, René Lalique's innovative spirit led him to establish his glassworks in Wingen-sur-Moder in 1922. This villa, once his main residence, symbolizes the peak of his artistic pursuits. Today, Lalique's legacy thrives as a global symbol of French luxury with a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship that continues to celebrate this deep-rooted heritage.
