Google translation: “Chair of the true Parisian gardens restored.”<\/p>\n
The Parisian shop Le Prince Jardinier<\/a> is mentioned by Natalia Hill in her piece “Get Stuffed — The Animal Wonderland of Deyrolle,”<\/a> found on the Huffington Post. I never pass on an opportunity to read about this fabled Parisian taxidermy\/natural history shop dating back to 1831, which was nearly lost in a devastating fire<\/a> in 2008. <\/p>\n Photo of interior from Deyrolle found here<\/strong><\/a>. In her article, Ms. Hill mentions that a garden shop, Le Prince Jardinier, is on the ground floor of Deyrolle<\/a> and gives a brief history of the chairs: <\/p>\n “These garden chairs adorned the grounds of the famous Luxembourg, Tuileries and Palais Royal gardens for over 80 years (1923-2005). It was Prince Louis-Albert de Broglie, who bought Deyrolle in 2001, who also stepped in to restore the Parisian park chairs.<\/p>\n “CUSTOM Available only in the color of your choice: black, dark green, green amazonite, chrome, blue, yellow, red, pink … Transport costs on request. Simone de Beauvoir (“I wanted to talk about these things. I wanted to talk about all sorts of things with people who, unlike Jacques, wouldn’t let their sentences trail away at the ends.” Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter<\/em>) probably talked up a storm in one of these chairs. Supply the name of your favorite writer, painter, poet, philosopher, and they’ve probably passed away an afternoon in a chair very similar to this.<\/p>\n And then there’s what photographer Andre Kertesz did with the chairs at the Luxembourg Gardens. Like a gardener, a photographer never actually sits<\/em> in a garden chair. Not for long. Which is probably why I don’t hanker after pricy chaises and oversized lounge furniture for the garden, which only steal precious space from plants, but hard, expressive little chairs like these.<\/p>\n Photos from Chasing Light<\/a><\/small> <\/big><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" V\u00c3\u00a9ritable chaise des jardins parisiens restaur\u00c3\u00a9e.
