38 rue des petits champs	Two birds frame a very expressive male face with two horns like a faun. Highly carved doorframe with fruit and two snakes.
4 rue Gaillon	Beautiful carriage entrance and frame with rocaille-style female mascaron. Two brackets in the same style support the cornice above the door. Very harmonious.
43 rue des petits champs	Two caryatids, falsely garbed: their drapery extends into a very rigid skirt resembling a column shaft, from which their feet protrude. These two caryatids are placed on either side of the door.
44 rue Notre Dame des Victoires	Neo-Renaissance style. A wide, rounded carriage entrance. The light wood leaves are decorated with beadwork and two oculi with ironwork. Above the door, two cherubs lean on a vase topped with fruit. Prominent scrollwork completes the lintel’s decoration. Two fluted pilasters with composite capitals frame the doorway.

Place du Caire	Entrance to the passageway, sculptures on the façade and Egyptian motifs around the doorway
