What is the Vistemboire des Panoramas?
The Story Shop
Explaining a new concept in a few words is difficult.
Back when I invented the wheel, fire, and the Internet, I already had trouble explaining the principle in a few words. With the Vistemboire des Panoramas, it's even harder.
But I'm an optimistic person, and I'm assuming that if you've made it this far, you're not going to be a dozen lines away. So here it is, in twelve lines but very simply told:
The main activity of Vistemboire is to tell stories! I find beautiful, surprising, interesting, funny, authentic stories (there are loads!) and I tell them by gathering all the objects that relate to them. It's like a small museum that exhibits stories and we come to visit "the exhibition on the history of the theft of the Mona Lisa", then from June 20, "the exhibition on the constitutions of France", then from July 20, the one on "the Universal Exhibition of 1889", etc. One story at a time. The visit is completely free and can last 5 minutes if you are in a hurry or an hour as long as your curiosity is not satisfied.
The Vistemboire is therefore a place that offers stories and entry is completely free!
Since I don't have the fortune I deserve and unfortunately have to earn my living on this earth, the Vistemboire is also a store that sells the souvenir of the stories and all sorts of curious, interesting, decorative, or even simply related objects to the universe of the place. You can enjoy the story for free and buy a souvenir. Or just one. Or just the other.
