π Paris Off-the-Beaten-Path π§©
πππππ Bonjour! Today, let's explore elements of Paris that are different from the usual. Apart from the countless "endless to visit" museums and exhibition halls, Paris also has many unique and interesting alternative shops that are lesser-known. No more words! Let's go! ππΌ π¦ Deyrolle Founded in 1831 by the renowned entomologist Deyrolle, it has been located in its current two-story building and has now evolved into a store and museum specializing in taxidermy and etymology. The store is meticulously displayed with taxidermied animals of all sizes, from polar bears π»ββοΈ to dazzling insects πͺ². The craftsmanship in the details is truly admirable, it's like the Noah's Ark of taxidermy! The surrealist wedding scene in "Midnight in Paris" was filmed here. The second floor is even more surreal than the first, with some more rare specimens, and the simple decorative lines on the ceiling and walls, along with the retro furniture, couldn't be more perfectly matched! The store also has some exquisite books π, notebooks π, and postcards π. If you're interested in strange and wondrous things, pondering the strange and wondrous stories they contain, then Deyrolle is a must-visit place. π° Design et Nature Like Deyrolle, it is also a taxidermy store, but it has a more healing feel, with various animals dressed up in anime styles. Unlike Deyrolle's traditional style, this store's design is bolder and more modern, catering to the taste of a younger generation, with monkeys π dressed as pirates π΄ββ οΈ, cats π± in the image of "Puss in Boots", and all sorts of interesting figures waiting for you to discover. Also, all the animals in this store come from zoos, circuses, and wildlife parks, and all died of natural causes. Among all the specimens, insect specimens are relatively more cost-effective, averaging in the tens of euros πΆ, while small mammals range from hundreds to thousands of euros πΆ.
