Life Rubbed the Wrong Way
posted by on June 26 at 17:42 PM
The effigy of 19th Century journalist known as Victor Noir has long been popular with women visitors.Officials concerned about damage to the icon’s groin area have erected a fence around the grave, and a sign prohibiting indecent rubbing.
The statue shows Noir in a frock coat and trousers lying flat on his back, with a distinct enlargement in the groin.
The effigy has been held as an aid to love or fertility.
The new sign warns: “Any damage caused by graffiti or indecent rubbing will be prosecuted.”
Remember folks, while rubbing a journalist’s groin does have its benefits, be gentle or you’ll rub that thing right off.

Victor Noir is carrying. It's really hot.
The legend is, ladies sit on his face for fertility.
How old are you?
From the wiki:
In 2005 a fence was erected around the statue of Noir, to deter people from touching the statue. Due to the protests of the female population of Paris however, it was torn down again.
Ah, Paris.
Huh huh. You said "erected".
