Biography

Born in Dijon on 27 April 1950, Parot learned stained-glass art in the workshop of his father, Marcel Parot. After his studies at the Beaux-Arts School of Dijon, he took over his father's workshop in 1972.[2] He spent his time on the restoration of old stained glass windows in collaboration with the likes of Gérard Garouste, Jean Ricardon, and Véronique Ellena, as well as the creation of new stained glass windows. His workshop was situated at the Château d'Aiserey, south of Dijon.[3]

In 2016, Parot was awarded the Prix Liliane-Bettencourt pour l'intelligence de la main.[2] In 2019, he helped to restore stained-glass windows impacted by the Notre-Dame fire.[3]

Pierre-Alain Parot died on 6 February 2023, at the age of 72.[4]
