One of several key shops on and near rue Mouffetard. It seems to me that there are many key shops found all over Paris. Perhaps that's because so many places still use the wonderful old keys , just like this one. My apartment key was a big , brass one like this. I loved it!
Ou Virginia I LOOOve the picture,contrast with colors are perfect.

Rouge parfait on the grey building. A very nice picture.
ReplyDeleteI love mouffetard; this key is vintage looking :D
ReplyDeleteOh, bring back those impractically beautiful large keys, please! I wish my doors required such keys. Stunning photo, V!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the key, Virginia! Wish we could have brought it home though it is a bit large for the carry-on.
ReplyDeleteThese old keys remember me old movies, is funny read about these :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this
ReplyDeleteIn all our apartments, we've never had a key like this. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteStarman,
ReplyDeleteThey were great because you could always find it !
Now there's a key with character! Great shot, V.
ReplyDeleteI always got my keys made in the basement of the BHV—doesn't have nearly the panache of this place.
THAT'S what is sooo great about France and the French.
ReplyDeleteThey hang on to all that good old stuff.
Beautiful post - thank you!
