On the subject of Riviera masterpieces, we thought we’d give you a hotel interlude with a celebration of French craftsmanship.
Ateliers Baudin, home of bespoke handcrafted eyewear – at the most luxurious level.
Owner Guillaume Clerc’s philosophy is that “each frame is unique”, but the soul behind this venture goes much further.
Savoir-faire, or ‘know-how’, is the essence here.
Guillaume has an almost obsessive passion for materials, always rare and very carefully selected; not only could you choose buffalo horn, but also tortoise shell, whose craftsmen can be counted on the fingers of one hand today.
With their workshop in the French Jura, region of deep forests and birthplace of glasses, Baudin are passionate about their unparalleled heritage and are reviving the age-old savoir-faire of this ancient yet celebrated art.
Heard of Meyrowitz? World-renowned luxury bespoke eyewear brand? Since Baudin’s glassmaker learnt his trade there, you can think of this precious brand as the heir of Meyrowitz. Heir of the savoir-fair, the knowledge, the materials… the journey here is moving to say the least.
And once you have a pair of your own Baudin glasses, you are part of a very special family of heritage, passion, and that truly one of a kind French craftsmanship.
