At the top of the steps of this historic street, very close to the Saint-Gervais church, funny “Zebras” have settled. At least that's the name of Antonin Gatier's decoration boutique which is located equidistant from the art gallery, the flea market and the cabinet of curiosities.
Objects not seen elsewhere are displayed in this beautiful, tastefully decorated XNUMXth century space. Examples: an openwork wooden crockery cabinet by the sculptor (and perfume creator) Christian Asturguevieille, a pair of Laverne armchairs in plexiglass, metal and leather, delicate and “uneven” porcelain by the artist Andréa Baumann or even minimalist ceramics in sandstone by Isabelle Roux.
A private hotel atmosphere emanates from this very chic address which evokes a little the universe of the Guénégaud hotel (or Museum of Hunting and Nature) with which it has an animal commonality: a stuffed polar bear trained on its hind legs. Yes, a bear, not a zebra!
