Paris Rain - It's Sweet!

"This is what you do on your very first day in Paris. You get yourself, not a drizzle, but some honest-to-goodness rain, and you find yourself someone really nice and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi. The rain’s very important. That’s when Paris smells its sweetest."AUDREY HEPBURN - SABRINA -

Chantal Voisin-Simon is from the third generation of Simons to run the Parapluies Simon boutique on the boulevard Saint Michel, and she’s been doing so since 1958.
Her grandfather opened up shop in 1897. The boutique Simon sells “créateurs” umbrellas, some from Chantal Thomass, some from Jean Paul Gaultier, but 95% of their wares come from small altelier-workshops that have small productions. Chantal likes working with these small productions for the care and detailed attention they put into their work, trying to inovate in colors and designs every year. But there are a small amount of Simon-made umbrellas that are made by the house, stunning handmade pieces that are pure luxury.
