{shop: Deyrolle rises from the ashes in Paris}

One of my favorite shops in Paris is the nearly two centuries old, Deyrolle. For lovers of natural history,curiosities, and a bit of the dramatic- this shop is housed in one of the most beautiful townhouses on rue de Bac. Amid exotic animals and birds, are shelves and drawers full of insects, fossils, and shells. Sadly, around this time last year, the store nearly burnt to the ground due to an electrical fire in the walls. The city rallied to pick up the pieces, with even some customers donating their purchases back to the store. In grand Parisian fashion, the store is back open, and is a MUST see.
