It was by restoring old pipes that Francois took his first steps into the World of pipes | It was by restoring old pipes that Francois took his first steps into the World of pipes. Bringing these forgotten objects back to life opened his eyes to the diversity and richness of pipemaking. A few visits to Saint-Claude, the former capital of the pipe in France, enabled him to meet [[Morel|Pierre Morel]], master pipemaker emeritus whom he was able to observe over the course of several mornings. This nourished his passion to become a pipemaker. He then devoted himself to building a workshop and learning the trade. | ||
