Great photo, especially increased in size.
I wonder though, how they make a living? Certainly wouldn’t here.
A good way to draw in business!
@Helen – It rains a lot more here! I’m always amazed at the number of speciality shops they have here. I haven’t been inside. They may sell clothes, etc. There is an umbrella shop in Avenue de l’Opéra in Paris that has been thriving for years.
@William – Yes, very attractive. The one in the photo has a workshop on-site, it seems. You can click here to see http://lamaisondesparapluies.net/fr-447-processus-de-fabrication.html
Thanks for this link. Great to see the umbrella created.
