Today has been a day. I spent a majority of my day doing homework or out shopping, but i sat down for a few hours, bored. And i had to make someone a handmade gift.

So....i went around my house collecting supplies to make...A fan

And let me just say, Feuilly knows where its at. Fanmaking is fun.

Fan-makers in Paris in 1829

AKA Vapaus has no life.

The white crosses are the ones labeled just “fan-makers”, the green crosses are makers of fan “leaves” (feuilles). (The weird looking green-white spot is Rue du Grand-Chantier number 4, which has both in the same address.)

As you can see, putting all these addresses on the map gives you a clear pattern. Aside from the few outliers, all of these shops are clustered around Rue Saint-Martin and Rue du Temple and their immediate surroundings. And the overwhelmingly most popular street for fan-makers seems to have been Rue Bourg-l’Abbé which has four shops.
