Nicolas Lupot
Violin maker
(1758 – 1824)
Among the great French violin makers, Nicolas Lupot deserves special recognition for his talents. Known as the French Stradivari, Lupot trained with his father François in Orléans before moving to Paris in around 1796 and set up his business near the shop of François Pique on the rue de Gramont. In 1806 he relocated his shop to the rue Croix des Petits Champs, where he remained for the rest of his career.
