Atelier Berthier-Bessac, Stained glass workshop in Grenoble, France

The Atelier Berthier-Bessac occupies a four-story building with a square corner tower and a long skylight designed for testing natural light conditions.

Founded in 1860 in Pont d'Ain by Father Pron and Antoine Bessac, the workshop relocated to Grenoble in 1892 under Jean-Augustin Bessac's direction.

The workshop maintains records of stained glass designs dating back to 1930 and has created windows for approximately 3,000 religious buildings worldwide.

Located at 10 rue Emile Gueymard in Grenoble, the workshop houses 1,500 different glass shades and multiple furnaces for vitrifying colorants.

The ground floor tower contains a specialized room restored in 1999 that enables artisans to evaluate stained glass under different lighting conditions.
