When you do, I'll come knocking for sure! And when you visit chez moi, you'll find equally ornate doors, but painted in French blue. :~} Bon dimanche, ma chère!
These doors would allow for a grand entrance (or a grand exit) every time you come and go. Perfect choice, Virginia. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Imagine what can be hidden behind theses doors! I guess it would be a more than decent place for living! The other day, I was invited with a small group to visit one of thes "hôtels particuliers" (mansions) where an old lady lived alone; three floors, a big garden...!
Maybe something slightly more modest would be good enough? :-)
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.

And amazing, massive, ornate doors those are!
What a stunning door. I've always loved their doors in Paris..wish I could own them myself

I would also LOVE to live behind these doors. Could we share a flat? Beautiful capture of the rich detail and color.

Yes I can definitely see you behind these doors Virginia, so elegant and of course the perfect hue for you!!

These days, those doors would probably cost more than the flat.
