A Row of Teddy Bears ♡
Recently, I was shocked by the appearance of a building in Paris, France that I found on Instagram...!
Here it is.
A sight where teddy bears (the Costco bear!) are lined up in each window! ♡
Isn't this just amazing...?
What's more, each bear has an individual pose, making them look alive.
They are just too cute! ♡
This is Hotel Le Regent on Gobelins Street in the 13th Arrondissement of Paris
This building is Hotel Le Regent, located along Gobelins Street in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
It’s a landmark spot on Gobelins Street. ♩
However, this is not an initiative of the hotel itself.
In fact, the owner of the bookstore "Les Gobelins" on Gobelins Street wanted to:
- Bring more smiles to citizens and tourists
- Help people remember the joy of playing innocently with stuffed animals in their childhood
With these thoughts, teddy bears were sent to various cafes, hotels, and shops along Gobelins Street for display. ♡
This is part of a community project called "Les Nounours Des Gobelins," which started in 2018-2019.
Teddy Bears Living Everywhere on Gobelins Street *
It’s unclear exactly how many bears there are, but teddy bears are living everywhere on Gobelins Street, in cafe terraces, stations, bookstores, and more.

A City Coexisting with Bears *
In the heart of Paris, along Gobelins Street, there are many teddy bears living harmoniously.
While looking at the photos, I felt that their natural blending and personalities made it seem like "the bears are really alive!" ♡
Once COVID is over and I can travel abroad again,
this is a place I want to visit to meet these adorable bears! ♡
