Officials have fenced-off a statue of "Victor Noir" because of worries about damage:
Officials concerned about damage to the icon's groin area have erected a fence around the grave, and a sign prohibiting indecent rubbing.
Noir - whose real name was Yvan Salman - was killed by Pierre Bonaparte, a great-nephew of the Emperor Napoleon, after bearing him a challenge to a duel.
There's also said to be a Penthouse photo shoot from the late '80s involving this statue...
