Just in case anyone was stuck on what to give their hard-to-buy-for French Gypsy cousin for their birthday.

I disapprove of this terrible art. D:

Seconded. Though now I feel better about my taking-forever-to-make Les Miserables tarot set...

;_; It's better to take a long time and be artistically sound.

Um... I own these. You can buy them at the Conciergerie. I love them, personally. :D

(The price is a bit high, I think, as I seem to remember buying them for €20 or so)

I hope you don't think I meant to mock whoever would want to own them! In fact, I find them sort of charming in their strangeness.
I was really just commenting on the bizarre combination of themes. :)

Oh no, not at all! :) I saw them and squeed. They're... um, not artistically awesome, but the concept makes me laugh. I've been wanting a Tarot deck actually... no, I don't read fortunes or whatever, but this deck is used for a 14th century French card game that I'm pretty addicted to, so this seemed perfect for my purposes. :)
