Other doors of interest:

8 rue Adolphe Focillon	Art nouveau. Door frame in basket-handle style, intersected by the consoles supporting the balcony and adorned with exquisite Art Nouveau motifs on both sides of the door. Beautiful ironwork. Architect A. Selonier, sculpture D. de Folleville. 1905
10 rue Roger	Storefront: male mascaron with long beard at center of broken pediment. Large metal door surmounted by a cartouche surrounded by stylized foliage.

17 rue Delambre	Very large rocaille-style cartouche, extended by a garland of flowers, surmounts a door with very fine ironwork.
19 cité Bauer	Alexandre Sàndor Mezei, a sculptor of Hungarian origin who resided in this house during the 1950s. This work, produced in 1959, is part of country folklore: on the main door, the immense heart is decorated with several tulips, while a second, narrower door is made up of a fresco representing a shepherd playing the flute in the company of his flock. This is itself surrounded by a frieze decorated with flowers and lianas. By remaining attentive to the ironwork, we discover that the arabesques of the large door deliver a message: “You are welcome”. On the smaller door, we can also read “Isten Hozott” in Hungarian, also meaning “welcome”. Note the fence and window frames of the house: they are also carved
2 rue Alphonse Daudet	Beautiful corner porte cochère with an important Baroque decoration composed of a cartouche topped by a shell and a bull’s eye, itself topped by a cartouche and brackets supporting a beautiful balcony.
