A morning quickie. As my dear fellow blogger Polly wrote in February, Deyrolle, a taxidermy shop and Parisian landmark, suffered a devastating fire. Last week, the International Herald Tribune had an update on the efforts to rebuild Deyrolle. While some may initially think that taxidermy is ghoulish, for Deyrolle it is an effort at conservation and education. The fire generated outpourings of first, sorrow, and then, support. The current owner, Prince Louis-Albert de Broglie, has hopes of re-opening a couple of rooms at the store soon; he is committed to rebuilding, and making the shop even better than before.
