musée de la chasse

While we were in Paris we visited the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature (the hunting and nature museum) due to a recommendation from a friend who said it was really cool. It's not as well known as the Louvre or Pomidou and I think it has only been open to the public since 2007, so it's pretty quiet and a perfect getaway from the crowds. The museum has three floors and houses an extensive collection of art, hunting relics and taxidermy. It was a neat way to see the role hunting had in France (and Europe) throughout the years.
