I'm posting this because I noticed that the Paris Daily Photo blog had exhibited some of these. This cow was in the Place de Marché St. Catherine. It's a little square where there is a magic club opposite the bistro. We went to see a magic show there in 2004. This spot is near Place des Vosges, but not nearly so well-known.I've been in London when they had cows, in Baltimore when they had crabs (well, you know big, decorated plastic ones) and in Berlin when they had bears. It is something different to point your camera at. What I was going for here was the cow's intrusion into that square (place) with the typical bistro with the typical name 'Au Bistrot de la Place.'
We've done our Father's Day duty here in Austin and I'm about to put together a little summary of our Paris dining experiences.

We saw the cows in Chicago in '99, saw more in Houston around 2001, and we heard a favorite town in Illinois has decorated dogs. The cows looked summery & whimsical in Chicago and Houston, but those locales didn't have the aged & continental look of your Paris street. Austin is getting ready for large decorated dogs, which seems appropriate, at least!
I'm not sure why, but the way the clouds on the cow resemble seashells is pretty cool.
