The Heritage Days are back in 2026! This exceptional event, held each year in mid-September, invites everyone to dive into history and culture by visiting sites and historic monuments. On 19 and 20 September 2026, these days will be a fantastic invitation to uncover Paris’s hidden treasures, opening the doors to exceptional places that are often off-limits for the rest of the year. A true journey through time awaits you!
In the heart of Paris lies the Maison du Vitrail, a showcase of art and history. Founded in the 1970s, this Parisian institution is dedicated to the preservation and creation of stained glass. It is both a workshop where craftsmen perpetuate ancestral know-how and an exhibition space where modern and ancient works of stained glass are showcased. The Maison du Vitrail is a true testament to the rich artistic heritage of Paris and France.
For the Journées du Patrimoine, a visit to the Maison du Vitrail offers a unique experience: live demonstrations by master glassmakers, giving you an insight into the delicate techniques involved in creating stained glass. You'll marvel at the finesse and beauty of the works on display. This is your chance to see these craftsmen at work, and to get up close and personal with the delicate and magnificent art of stained glass!
A Tour of the Studios at the House of Stained Glass
The House of Stained Glass, a Living Heritage Company, was founded by Christiane and Philippe ANDRIEUX.
Emmanuelle ANDRIEUX, their daughter to whom they passed on their passion, joined them more than 25 years ago and has taken up the reins, ensuring the precious know-how endures within the company. Two Master Glassmakers and 12 journeymen work daily in the workshop for this shared passion.
Operating worldwide, we are proud to design and practice in the purest tradition of builders. For over eight centuries, this prestigious craft has been handed down from master to master.
We are architects of light, creators and restorers of stained glass, serving the client and the building alike; we draw on the past to shape the future, from classical to contemporary, across all techniques. Our mission: make you feel the vibrancy!
The House of Stained Glass opens its doors to share with you what drives us daily, this light that illuminates us at every moment.
Come share with us the passion for stained glass in the familiar setting of our workshop to discuss our know-how, and above all, to answer all your questions about this art.
It is also an opportunity to discover our ancestral and contemporary techniques for creating and restoring stained glass.
We look forward to welcoming you back.
