La galerie numismatique




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!

    Ces hochets se distribuent encore. C'est vraiment dérisoire.

    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 -

    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
