Deyrolle









Paris has many unusual shops, but one of the most unusual has to be Deyrolle, a 170-year old establishment on rue du Bac, not far from the Musee d'Orsay on the Left Bank. The ground floor looks like an ordinary home and garden shop but the upstairs is crammed with stuffed animals of all shapes, sizes, and poses, as well as ancient wooden cases full of insects, shells, botanical prints and a variety of curiosities.
As a lover of the strange and bizarre, this is a must see!
