The museum of the Legion of Honnor in Paris has an amazing collection of every possible order of the world, one shinier than the other. The glitzy bling is kept in large drawers that visitiors can open to take a closer look at the pieces. It alsmot feels like the Galerie des Bijoux inside the museum of decorative arts, but with more emphasis on the monumentality of these little artpieces.

    I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
