One thing I've learned in Paris is to push doors and see what's behind. ( Merci Peter). This day, I was wandering alone in the Marais and decided to walk through and have a look. This was a group that brought fresh produce from the countryside for the locals to purchase. Here in Alabama we call this farm to table. They were kind enough to let me have a look and a few photos. I love this photo because it shows a side of Paris that I've not seen.

A very unusual view! One would never think it's in Paris .
Looks like sort some of haggling taking place there
Those doors sure do look like the coul tell a few stories. Great texture.
Even the people in Paris need fresh produce. Ha I agree with you that this scene is not one you would expect to see in Paris. :)
Truly behind the scenes..
Good for you. I have also learned not to be too timid. No problem most of the time.
A different kind of "secret garden." Love the way you composed this, V—I feel like I'm peeking in.
I'm going to do that too when I'm in Paris! I love finding wonderful things behind their gates, and usually it is worth the nerves of getting caught or yelled at in French :)
I never cease to be amazed at what is behind the doors! This is a wonderful find!
They can't be too interested in selling their goods if they're behind closed doors.
Here in Maine & in France I enjoy seeing a generation of young people who is involved in direct farmer's markets & organic farms...(I sound like a dame d'un certain åge, n'est-ce pas?)
sometimes it is better not to open closed doors... sometimes it is better to push !
the question is what to do when :)
Beautiful street shot V!
Great shot! Look at those old doors!!!! Love, love, love!

What a wonderful result of the "pushing-the-doors" attitude! :-)
I learned to push doors for the best of them! I was hesitant at first but we found such great things, now I'm rather bold.
