I have seen this sign only once or twice in Paris, but love the sense of humor.
No left turn!
or... does it say, "Don't bend the Eiffel Tower!"
This is one of many designs of Clet Abraham,
who places his artistic, non-destructive stickers on signs around Europe.
(Thanks, Rob and Mandy for the information)

Wonder if it is by the same artist who made the ones in Livorno, on VP and Trillian's Livorno Daily Photo blog?
How cute! Must get back to see for myself, though:-))
HA HA, I love this...a bent Eiffel Tower used this way is very, very clever.
Both? heee...
Thank you so much, chere Genie for coming by!
What beautiful words...and you work with glass?
I would love to see some of your pieces...
Have a beautiful day, dear friend!

I love it!
The French crack me up. Nice catch, Genie!
Now that is truly fabulous! love love love it. :D
Very unique and truly ONLY IN PARIS would one find this.
That is really good, I also wondered if it was done by the artist VP showed from Livorno. It is similar art with the same droll humor.
Rob and Jack, thank you! I have now researched and linked to the post by VP, along with updating this post. The artist is Clet Abraham and he uses non-damaging "stickers" on existing signs. Very cool!
Irina, send me an email, mon amie, svp.
Now, I am going to have to start looking for these. This one was not seen in google-maps.
Bises,
Genie
Hee! I love it. :)
I´ve seen a "don´t bend the Eiffel Tower" sign on Rue de Turbigo last November. And more signs in Rome. I didn´t know the name of the artist, thank you for sharing it.
Hahah...creative!
:)
I'd love to see signs like this where I live but everyone here is too serious.
