Other doors of interest:

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.
13 rue Henri Regnault	Art Deco style. An aulos player and his pupils. The aulos is a double flute depicted on ancient Greek and Roman objects.
15 rue Henri Regnault	Art Deco style. Family scene with a woman breastfeeding a baby in front of her daughter and a seated sheep looking up at her.
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.
