Do you ever take the time?<\/strong> Take the time to look straight ahead of yourself. To look around yourself. To look up and see the most astounding details<\/strong>. Read these few lines, and we bet you’ll start seeing these little details in a new way: the weather vanes of Touraine.<\/p>

In the heart of the Touraine countryside<\/strong>, just a stone’s throw from the sumptuous Ch\u00e2teau de Chenonceau,<\/strong> we pushed open the doors of G\u00e9rard Morisset’s workshop<\/strong>. Established in the little village of Dierre<\/strong> for over 30 years, this former post-office manager now devotes himself to a long-developed passion: designing weather vanes from scratch and by hand for your rooftops!<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Though he remembers being intrigued by the weather vane perched on a little neighbouring castle’s rooftop as a child, it was an adult that this unique heritage element truly piqued his interest. And it was an encounter with an enthusiastic collector<\/strong> from Issoudin that finally converted him!<\/p>

‘Originally, weather vanes were reserved for the nobility<\/strong> and the clergy,<\/strong>‘ he explains. ‘And after the Revolution, traders and craftsmen adopted them to indicate the placement<\/strong> of their stalls’. Today, anyone can embellish their roof with these unusual works, customisable to your tastes<\/strong>! ‘Many of my customers come to me with very personal and almost intimate wishes. These are family stories<\/strong>, highlights of their lives. Some of the weather vanes I have made truly moved me’.<\/p>

What’s more, all his works are unique<\/strong>. He strives to ensure that each customer is the author of their own project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On his workbench that day, we admired a very stylised bear, alongside an arrowhead reminiscent of ancient flint<\/strong>s. ‘This client loves Native American culture, from a very specific tribe. I based my work on images we looked at together’. What’s for sure, this customer will be amazed by the attention to detail in this work that will take pride of place several metres high!<\/strong><\/p>

When we asked him what drove him towards this rather rare art<\/strong>, G\u00e9rard Morisset evoked the values he holds dear. ‘Being a craftsman<\/strong> is about highlighting what you are, through what you do. It’s trying even when we don’t know how, because learning over time is a real wealth. It’s enjoying yourself, while pleasing your customer’. G\u00e9rard astonishes some 20 customers per yea<\/strong>r. ‘It takes me around 3 days to make a weather vane. I start by working the material, often copper, zinc or tin. To weld it, I use silver or pewter. For the drawings, I call on an artist friend, Philippe Merlev\u00e8de, based in Amboise’.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Having retired last year, G\u00e9rard can now focus on this trade and passion<\/strong>, alongside his wife, who takes care of the charming tourist lodge<\/strong> next door to their home. He also has time to dedicate to another passion<\/strong>: motorbiking. He happily welcomes visitors drawn in by the simple evocation of this unique art<\/strong>, who, without fail, will leave just like us, paying much more attention to what’s going on above their heads!<\/p>
