I wish I knew the story behind this very interesting-looking building, flanked by the most ordinary, boring structures in Paris. But I don't. I passed it last week in the 10th arrondissement, but I was too pressed for time to explore further on the day I quickly snapped this shot. Choisy-le-Roi is actually a town in the south-east 'burbs of Paris. So why does this building bear the same name? The stained glass would seem to imply "church" but usually the churches are named Saint Someone-or-other. So, I'm clueless... but liked it well enough to take the picture.
If you know something about it, please do enlighten us all!

Moments after posting the above...
I found something by Googling a bit more creatively. I think this is an old store that sold faience pottery from Choisy-le-Roi, according to this Wikipedia entry (in French). It was on Rue de Paradis that I took the photo, and there were a lot of very pretty pottery shops along that street. So, perhaps the "mystery" is solved?
