In this one, the lion almost looks like a playful cat who wants to play with the fountain's stream.

I remember seeing these lions V. Very impressive. I believe Saint Sulpice iw the largest cathedral in Paris and was the setting for some of the drama in Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons". It is an enormous and cavernous place.
