Who does not remember his own amazement as a child, at Christmas or Easter, looking at these strange creatures which seemed alive, moving inside the bright store windows?
All those small faces, noses crushed on the glass, utterly fascinated by Snow White coming back to life and the seven dwarfs from their work, or the puss-in-boots putting his boots on and off without end, or the Daltons breaking stones or escaping ever and again from the penitentiary, or simply Mr Rabbit rolling on the grass...
For more than fifty years now, our animated windows, constantly renewed, made little hearts beat faster in all french towns.
You'll see some videos of it here, and even more in the Gallery where a whole floor is assigned to them.
Maybe will you also encounter there what rendered then the light more shiny, the perfumes stronger, the sensations more acute, maybe, for few instants will you reawake (it's never really lost) your little child soul...
