Definitely a must-see for anyone going to Paris. It's located in the Pigalle district, a short walk from the metro, at 53, Boulevard de Rocheouart. Amazing collection!

Rene! How did you get these photos of my summer home in Paris? I told the butler not to let in strangers... :lol:

Amazing collection, I'd love to see these some day!

Ditto!

In one of the pictures (http://forum.talkingmachine.info/downlo ... &mode=view), there appears to be a HUGE metal Morning Glory type horn, is it an actual functioning one?

I was there too. I showed the butler your post in YT, handed him $800 and picked up that Opera! :lol:

Some of those horns are outstanding, but they also make me wonder about their originality and appropriateness to the respective machines. The only one that I remember featured in some book is the pink and purple asymmetric one.

Very nice pictures, however! A marvel to look at.

Fantastic - Thanks for the photos Rene

I have a soft spot for European machines and this definitely means I have to keep buying those lottery tickets.
