Paris Rouge - Les portes

 Pétit Lycée Henri IV

7 de la rue Clotilde

Portes du Louvre

The Cour Carrée, one of the main courtyards at the Louvre, is often overlooked, as most visitors flock to the Pyramid. It's usually quieter and late one afternoon after walking all day, I wandered in, sat on a bench and just soaked in all the exquisite details at my leisure. I stayed until the sun set.

Knock Knock

There's probably a mini-series of door knockers in here. Maybe later!

Paris Rouge - Bleu, blanc et rouge

Heurtoir de Porte - De luxe

I would love to revisit this beautiful door, don't remember where on earth is it!

Paris Rouge - Les portes

J'adore these doors!

Une charmante cour

Push a door at Place des Vosges and if you're lucky it's open to this charming courtyard.

Le Dragon

 Seemingly unaware of the ferocious dragon hovering over her head.

Poussez!

I am always attracted to the detailed door handles on the enormous Paris doors.  This especially caught my eye!

Vert et Violet

A strong contender for my favorite door in Paris.

Madame et les portes bleues

I spent a lot of time waiting and fuming at people who walked into my shots, until I realized that the human element adds another dimension.  I draw the line with tacky tourists however.  ( And how about those hot pink bags!)

Ouvrez la porte

One of the first sentences I learned ( and still remember) in French I in high school. 

Île Saint-Louis

Je suis parfait

Some doors in Paris just beg NOT to be repainted. This is one of them. 

Au Nom de la Rose

Paris flower shop + old door =  photo stop!   As much as I love street photography while in Paris, I must admit that a vignette such as this one always stops me in my tracks.  And from the looks of that chair, I'm thinking it's stopped me before.

Today I join the group at James' Weekend Reflections right HERE!

Paris Rouge LXXVII - Les Belles Portes

IF I had a flat in Paris, THESE would be my doors!

Porte Noir...

très noir!

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.
