Deyrolle

Richard stopped by Deyrolle, the acclaimed taxidermist shop in Paris, in search of a butterfly for his daughter. Excuse the photo quality, these were iphone spy shots.

Since 1831, the house Deyrolle offers nature lovers collections of insects and shells , and stuffed animals of all kinds of natural curiosities and educational materials for teaching the natural sciences, whose famous "planks Deyrolle" , which hung on the walls of the school.

Today the shop is even more beautiful than ever, with many mammals of large size, wonderful stuffed birds and natural wonders as beautiful as they are astonishing.

Deyrolle since April 2010 has been awarded the "Living Heritage Company" . This label, a mark of recognition from the Ministry of Economy Industry and Employment, stands nearly 800 companies for their excellent handicraft or industry expertise. With this know-how these companies mark their membership in the national historical heritage.
