AT MONSIEUR MICHELIN The story begins in Benin, in Cotonou, in winter 2007, during a trip with my eldest daughter, a trip already revolving around the recovery and recycling of city waste, manufacturing of musical instruments and metal letters from car sheet metal. By chance in our wanderings from workshop to workshop, I came across a small shop in which an old gentleman was making wineskins to fetch water from the bottom of wells.
