A lion dance troupe performs in front of a shop in the “quartier chinois” in Paris. As part of the Chinese New Year celebration, after the firecrackers are set off, the lions do their dance. They go door to door, where invited, to offer this symbolic ritual to welcome the Lunar New Year and chase out any bad spirits from the premises. Photo by Danielle Voirin.
