Found at Futility Closet:

This one, proposed for the Champs-Élysées in 1758, had air conditioning, a spiral staircase, and a drainage system in the trunk.

The French government said no. There’s no accounting for taste.

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

This must be where Baz Luhrmans must have got inspiration for the elephant in the moulin rouge set.
