Nestled in the 8th arrondissement along one of the most exclusive shopping streets in the world is 800 cable-hanging, umbrellas hanging over Cité Berryer. Famed Portuguese artist, Patricia Cunha, is the mastermind behind the colorful installation that appears as if the umbrellas are suspended in the air, floating above bewildered pedestrians below and excited shoppers above.

This image of Le Village Royale Umbrella Sky installation was taken from the upper level of DIOR Paris Royale, looking onto Cité Berryer. I stood looking west outside the boutique window for this perspective of the umbrellas over the street.
