Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris has fenced off a famous tomb to prevent lewd acts being performed on a statue.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.
It is said that a woman who kisses the lips of the prostrate statue and slips a flower into the upturned top hat will find a husband by the end of the year.
