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?



8, rue Jean de la Fontaine

Actually, I'd feel quite protected with that lion perched over my doorway. :~} Pays to look up!

Hah! Clever of you to aim your camera up like this.

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