Crystal is a precious form of glass, rich in lead, from which some of the most beautiful and intricate ornaments are created. For 250 years, the manufacturer Baccarat has been showcasing the best of French glassware. “You are here” pushes the doors of the Baccarat factory, nestled at the foot of the Vosges hills. We meet Christine Hénissart, whose job is to preserve the heritage of the company, which has been crafting crystal creations from hot furnaces for centuries. We then head to the Élysée presidential palace in Paris, where we watch Baccarat crystal being laid out for a reception!
