    This lamp is reminiscent of the Art Nouveau lamps at many of the Métro stops in Paris.

    Undoubtedly the most ornate street lamp that I've ever seen. I also love the big cat sculpture. Thanks.

    Et dire que j'ai failli dire que ça s'écrit avec un phe ! Ca a effectivement l'air d'être un endroit plus facilement vivant que l'arc de triomPHe.
