Not that I ever need one, but it seems like it would be worth a plane flight to see this “Sleepy Chick” (Poussin Endormi) in Nantes, right? It’s so cute—especially the big belly and beak. You can find this larger-than-life topiary tucked away in Le Jardin des Plantes, one of the oldest and largest botanical gardens in France. The bird was designed by children’s author and illustrator Claude Ponti.
PS: How sweet is the oversized alarm clock that’s there to wake him up? Love it!
