The Sights of Paris

Saw this last night down in Montparnesse. It was outside of the now closed Prison de la Sante (ironically, the Prison of Good Health). It's the last one of its kind. Can you guess what it is?

    Updated for Paris:

    Outdoor urinals filled with woodchips.

    The woodchips are periodically replaced. The mulch has been found to be fantastic for grapevines.

    Recycling!
