"Le Viaduc des Arts, an abandoned railway line, was converted into an elevated park, and the arches below it were turned intoateliers for artisans. Parasolerie Heurtault is one of the workshopsworth a detour. Master artisan Michel Heurtault created corsetry in haute couture houses before pursuing his childhood passion of making and restoring bespoke umbrellas. In the showroom, ready-made umbrellas and precious handles fill shallow drawers. Rolls of silk and natural fiber fabrics are gathered into colorful bouquets in the workshopbeyond. In addition to providing shelter from the rain, Monsieur Heurtault will repair family heirlooms and makes spectacular pieces for period films."
