Sylvain Nougaret fell in love with molten glass when he was 14 in Murano, Italy. In 2011, he opened his own glass-blowing studio in Ruoms where he developed his craft skills.
Today, at SYGMA, he and Mathilde have created a unique place where he can continue to create and offer original pieces, as well as share his exceptional craftsmanship by opening the doors of his studio for unforgettable experiences!

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Grotte Chauvet being declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019, the incredible animal world painted 36,000 years ago has been brought out of the cave. With the help of photographer Clément Briend, walls, trees and villages have been transformed into giant screens, as seen here on the facsimile of Grotte Chauvet 2 – Ardèche.
Olives are an ancient and traditional crop in southern Ardèche. A number of mills receive olives from private individuals at harvest time in the autumn and offer their production of oils and gourmet products derived from this. Renowned for their quality, they produce oils of excellence, such as the ‘La Magnanerie’ olive grove in Orgnac l’Aven, which in 2021 was awarded the title of ‘World’s Best Organic Oil’ by the ‘Flos Olei’ guide, a benchmark in the industry.
