Located at the Jardin du Palais Royal, the Galerie Numismatique specializes in vintage medals, awards and coins. I always stop for a look in the window. Another shop I should explore. Maybe I'll do that when I get my nerve to pop in to Didier Ludot next door!

About Me

- Birmingham, AL, United States
- I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

A very interesting shop, I like the colors of the medals, beautiful indeed!
Léia
Ces hochets se distribuent encore. C'est vraiment dérisoire.
Beautiful colors!
I like these types of things, it makes me wonder who they were pinned on and what that experience was like.
There is so much more than the artistic nature that they now lend.
Ditto what Katherine said Virginia, so much history attached to medals oui!
Images of those old Frenchmen in pressed suits with rows of medals on their chests -
I love the blue medal in the last photo! It's gorgeous! :)
Have a great weekend, V. :)
One of my favorite shops too, V—but I'm strictly a lèche-vitrine here!
Now this brings back lots of good memories!
Every time I've been to Paris my apartment was at 30 rue Montpensier just a few doors away from these shops.
I'll be in Paris again soon but this time in different apartment.
I would NEVER visit a shop of this type! Just as I do not like war, neither do I like the symbols of war!
Starman,
I never imagined these was WAR symbols, more aristocracy, they're so elaborate, but what do I know.
Maybe if I wore one of those on my sport coat, people would really think that I'm a BFD?
Bon weekend, V de B
