Reconfinement (part II) obliges, take advantage of good cozy bedding in this autumn-winter season is welcome. A good bed improves your well-being. And the best is surely yours, mine (or almost)!
Although we can no longer go shopping because of the new restrictions; the bed remains our first favorite refuge. We often dream of having the comfort of high-end mattresses like Tempur at home. Because having a restful sleep is vital (long live the good looks!).
And in the capital, you can still find mattress craftsmen to this day. Paris, XVth century. A few fathoms from the Bastille, the abbey of Saint-Antoine prospered. Its enclosure (and its tax exemptions) attracts the best artisans in France. For 5 centuries, cabinetmakers, carpenters and saddlers reigned supreme...
Until the end of the 20th century. The big signs arrive and drive all the craftsmen out of the suburb. All ? No, an irreducible still and always resists the dictatorship of short time:Patrice, from Ateliers Le Briand , is the last mattress maker in Paris. He defies time twice:1, by perpetuating a tradition (perhaps?) doomed to disappear; 2, by handcrafting objects that really last a long time – 60 years on average for its box springs and pure wool mattresses. So to sleep well, you will have the choice:count the sheep or the years.
