I just hope
that he is not angry with ME.

A proponent of French German friendship
This sculpture by Tomi Ungerer, called either Aqueduct of Janus or Janus fountain (l’Aqueduc de Janus or Fontaine de Janus), signifies the double culture of Strasbourg, shaped by France and Germany in equal measure. It features a double sided Janus head looking in two directions, west and east.
