Rue Jean de la Fontaine - le lion



The lion?


The doorway might be a bit intimidating to cross the threshold after dark.  
The eyes appear to penetrate and follow your movements, 
but that is impossible, n'est-ce pas?

    In my head Genie it is quiet possible. Glad you looked up.

    I agree with Alexa, I think he's there for protection.
