A Parisien legend for those who know, Deyrolles Taxidermy studio has been located at Rue de Bac, near St Germain-des-Pres for almost two centuries.  On the brink of disappearance, the historic store was bought in 2001 by Prince Louis Albert de Broglie, founder of Le Prince Jardinier, a rather upscale gardening store. He is currently restoring Deyrolles to its former eccentric glory.
