Avenue Daumesnil in the 12th......anyone for an umbrella...a complete work of art?


After a lunch of pheasant at A la Biche au Bois, a restaurant known for their game,  I walked the length of Avenue Damensil.  The old Paris to Strasbourg railway, now referred to as Le Viaduc des Arts, has been transformed into arched artisan's studios.



As I was "window licking" (the French term for window shopping) all the way I could not resist photographing the handmade parapluies.


I watched from outside as the seamstresses worked on each parapluie.


I apologize for the reflection in the photos but in a way I quite like it.
