The Royal Glassworks of Saint-Louis, located in the French town of Saint-Louis-lès-Bitche in Moselle, is the oldest crystal glassworks in France (1586). In 1829, the glassworks became the Compagnie des Cristalleries de Saint Louis. The crystal glassworks, still in operation today, was acquired in 1989 by the renowned luxury brand Hermès. Saint-Louis, along with Baccarat, are among the largest French crystal manufacturers.
