The Petit Palais is the fine arts museum of the city of Paris, and it's worth a visit for its architecture as much as for its collection. I was quite taken with this statue (Woman with Monkey, by Camille Alaphilippe, from 1908). In addition to being lovely, it is something of a marvel of construction, made from bronze and stoneware, both mounted on a structure of wood and iron using crushed brick and plaster.
