At Optique Gualdoni, the art of optics is passed down with passion and exacting standards. We cultivate a rare savoir-faire, expressed through a finely curated selection of limited-edition pieces. Inspired by great artisanal traditions and guided by a contemporary vision, we shape a world where timeless elegance meets innovation. Each frame becomes a testament to a story: a discreet form of luxury, rooted in culture, art, and family heritage.
Founded in 1901 at 228 Rue de Rivoli, at the entrance of the legendary Hôtel Meurice, Optique Gualdoni has embodied Parisian elegance for over a century. As one of the first opticians accredited by the French Social Security (No. 4), we have had the honor of serving an exceptional clientele — among them, the great Yves Saint Laurent.
Since the 1950s, our boutique at 8 avenue Mozart—once a jeweler’s shop—has upheld a rare savoir-faire. Captains of industry, storied families, and loyal patrons have followed one another there, generation after generation, in a tradition of trust and excellence.
Trained in the workshop of the legendary Bernard Maitenaz, inventor of Varilux progressive lenses, Jacques honed his craft in the heart of Le Marais, among the master artisans of optics.
Today, together with his son Lirone, he carries forward the spirit of the maison. Blending tradition, an eye for detail, and creativity, they offer far more than eyewear: an invitation to reveal yourself—with elegance and authenticity.

Dès que vous franchissez nos portes, le rythme s’apaise. Notre boutique a été pensée comme un cocon : un lieu intime, rassurant, où vous êtes reçu avec authenticité et attention. Comme chez soi, mais avec ce supplément d’âme qu’offrent les belles maisons. Nous croyons que le vrai luxe commence par l’accueil simple, humain, inoubliable.
Because every gaze is unique, we offer more than glasses: an attentive consultation, a sincere dialogue, and fully personalized guidance. Our experts take the time to listen, understand, and observe—so we can reveal what truly reflects you. Genuine elegance is built on nuance and precision.
