Meisenthal: Holiday apartments and holiday homes
Culture
In Meisenthal, visitors can watch glassblowers at work from the mezzanine of the Centre International d’Art Verrier as they comment on their activities. The Centre preserves, reinterprets and presents centuries-old glassmaking know-how recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage of humanity. The boutique offers pieces designed by contemporary designers and made by the glassblowers in Meisenthal.
The Halle Verrière is located in the former production facility of the Meisenthal glassworks and is now a venue for multidisciplinary cultural creation and outreach. Throughout the year, it offers tours of the site and behind-the-scenes insights into an events hall. Its annual programme includes the street theatre festivals Demandez-Nous la Lune! and the travelling festival Il était une fois…, the Wowox children’s festival, contemporary music concerts under the Rock à l’Usine label with seating for up to 3,000 people, and contemporary art exhibitions.
Those choosing Meisenthal as a travel destination may want to rent a holiday apartment there.
