A perched village known since the 1950s for its handcrafted glassware, recognisable by the characteristic bubbles trapped in the blown glass.

The cobbled, flower-lined lanes lead to workshops where you can watch glass being blown live, a local tradition that has made the village's reputation well beyond the region. The Musée National Fernand-Léger nearby rounds off the visit for modern art enthusiasts.
