Of Snake Eating Lions . . .

I went into Paris today to, among other things, see the Warhol exhibition at the Grand Palais. (more on that later) When I parked the car and got out, practically the first thing I saw was this glaring lion with two snakes forming a knocker. I've seen plenty of lions' heads on doors in the past, but never one quite like this particularly fearsome example. I wonder if people who have a fear of snakes (let alone lions) are troubled if they have to grasp the knocker and knock with it to announce their presence here ???
