Cathédrale Notre Dame de Senlis

This little side door looks hardly large enough for an adult to walk through. This French Gothic cathedral in Senlis FR was completed in 1191. We took the train there last November with our friend Owen Phillips who lives in nearby Chantilly. We were lucky enough to enjoy an organ saxophone recital while there. Tomorrow, we'll go inside for a look.

Heurtoir de porte II

Today we travel 80 km SE of Paris to the fortified medieval town of Proving. This lovely heurtoir and porte was a good find.

On The Road.... Nogent-sur-Seine

Have a look at these great doors!

I have a new book I've published for my church and am offering on BLURB. It features the Easter Season at Independent Presbyterian Church.

La porte blanche

I found this wonderful old door in the medieval town of  Provins, located about an hour southeast of Paris.

Doors in France II - French Bleu

If memory serves, I took this photo in July, 2009.  I just noticed the serpents and the bull/monkey at the bottom!  The color of the door is lovely I think. 

Doors in France I

LE MARAIS

Recently a decorator requested a series of doors in France for a client.  As I began gathering them together for her, I realized how many I had accumulated and not shared with you. So, here you have the first in my new series, Doors in France! I fell in love with the colors here.

La Poignée

Three French Doors............

.......and a partridge in a pear tree!

These lovely old doors were all found in Provins, France.

DON'T FORGET!

I'll be giving away a Paris Through My Lens Calendar on Christmas Eve.

Leave a comment and tell me why you think I should pick YOU! Actually Père Noël will do

the drawing when he stops by. Bonne chance.

Hotel de Vauluisant - Bleu in France

The Hotel de Vauluisant, built in 1564, caught my eye with its lovely blue details. Today it serves as a hosiery museum featuring stockings worn my the kings of France. ( Non, I did not visit). It also houses a museum of the history of the province. Worth a look if you get the chance to visit Troyes, France.

Au Revoir !

La Port Montains

Provins

Tomorrow we leave for home. It has been a wonderful 4 weeks. I will be returning to Paris around July 11th and then to Fontaine-Fourches again on the 17th for two weeks of my photography workshop. I will continue to post on this blog so keep visiting.
