About us

Le Pigeon Parisien is a French brand creating unique Paris souvenir plush toys, inspired by the city’s most iconic and unexpected symbol—the Parisian pigeon, the unofficial mascot of Paris. Léon le Pigeon Parisien combines French humour, Parisian style, and high-quality design, making him the perfect souvenir from Paris.

The founder is Marie Soussand, born and raised in Paris, now back after 17 years abroad. While traveling across European capitals, she searched for a cute, iconic souvenir her children could love and keep—but couldn’t find one. When she came back home, she realized that this kind of original gift didn’t exist in Paris either.

And that is how Léon was born. The unofficial mascot of Paris. A charming, memorable, and collectible gift for visitors looking to bring home a true piece of Paris.
