A collection of size
This Rennais can’t be ashamed of the collection he has to offer. Indeed, the latter holds more than sixty stuffed animals.
Long years of accumulation
Although he denies being a collector, Marc Beluet has approximately 70 animals. Their particularity is that they are all stuffed. This lecturer is now retiring and has decided to auction his 70 pieces. The latter will take place at the Rennes auction house, a place where he can say goodbye to his curiosities.

After forty years of accumulating these animals, it’s time for brand to bequeath them to someone else. The stuffed animal fashion is very special, but Marc shouldn’t worry. Indeed, it is quite possible that a buyer will quickly take back the collection he has built.
Everything is in order with traceability for each animal I bought. I was of course offered during my travels animals that had been poached, but I never wanted to hear about it, I am absolutely against animal exploitation
A quickly abandoned trend
Marc spent time exhibiting his animals in his shed, but this is no longer relevant. Now retired, he prefers to bequeath this great collection to a person who deserves it. Even if the animals are likely to bring him a nice sum, he does not think about it and only does it because he had planned it.
I have no idea what it will bring me, he says. Anyway, I don’t do this for the money
Nowadays, it is not easy to welcome guests in a setting filled with these stuffed beasts. Marc is well aware that this passion is not unanimous, but does not seem worried about the fate of his 70 animals. Indeed, many will be ready to invest for this group of curiosities.
A golden opportunity for some
Among the interested collectors, we find Yannick Marie. The latter has a real museum of curiosities at home, a new trend that is arriving in France. These rooms dedicated to unusual objects collect everything and anything, the theme often borders on a weird and scary vibe. A passion that does not affect everyone…
However, it is a perfect place to accommodate stuffed animals, especially since Yannick has a 60 m² room to capture this collection. The Rennais impatiently awaits the sale of Marc to finally be able to buy new pieces and expand their collection. He considers himself to be the best solution to take over the legacy left to him by Marc.
I am a history buff, always looking for a new treasure
