In this case, perhaps the vine is helping to hold up the building? LOL. Don't see any bricks or stones to latch onto, but perhaps the tendrils have eased into the cracks in the wall. Makes for a great picture.
William Kendall, apparently not because it's evident that the original vines at the base are very big and very old. I think they would cut them down it they caused damage.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

The vines hug the way and frame the door. . . nice!
I hate that damned automatic correction: the vines hug the wall!!
I like your vine addiction! A slight spookieness to it ... and beautiful too, of course. (:
I do wonder with these what kind of damage they're doing to the building.

That is amazing. I wonder how old that vine is. My rule is to never shoot a "vine before its time". This guy's time has definitely come.
Beautiful photo!

Stuart--Non non et non!
I think I have caught your vine addiction. I think maybe Stuart was referring to shooting with a camera?
Yes. That's the only kind of shooting I do.
