Where to buy umbrellas and canes New Aquitaine

At the François', the oldest store in Poitiers, since 1882 and five generations, umbrellas are made, repaired and restored by hand in the workshop adjacent to the store. Choice of color and shape, maple handle for comfort, carbon fiber structure for strength, the umbrellas are custom-made, unique. There are also folding umbrellas, parasols or cane umbrellas adapted to the size of each person. But the emblem of the august house remains the shepherd's umbrella with its large diameter and its rattan ribs.
