I don’t think I would have known there was an exhibition of dragons in Paris, if I hadn’t seen this fire breather at the Gare de Lyon train station the other day. This particular dragon claims to be made with eco-packaging but it has that evil symbol that tricks people into thinking it is environmentally friendly and recyclable (but in reality it isn’t). The saving grace is that this dragon is, in fact, getting recycled in the form of a sculpture.
Despite my bitterness toward evil conglomerates that pretend they are being good to nature, it doesn’t mean that the exhibition is not worth visiting. The exhibition looks pretty cool, actually.

PT…and this is why I’m so glad that I’ve stumbled onto your site. The info is always vast and varied. A question though, is there anyway for you to add an “Email this” link so that I could share it with someone else? That photo is great!
