I imagine the stories these doors could tell... about the aristocrats and artists who once walked through the doorways and the carriages they rode in, the lovers trysts at their landings, the archways that survived revolutions and wars. They stood during the infancy of many countries in the western hemisphere, the past alive in their cracks and debris. Each wears their history with dignity and splendor... surely they can share a story or two.

Love the old doors, they are just beautiful! Coming over from the simple things sunday link up :)
ReplyDeleteAs a history major, I always think about things like this-- how architecture stands the test of time and their place in history. And this I think automatically happens when you are in a city like Paris.

ReplyDeleteOld houses and old doors are wonderful to look at and to imagine what they have seen throughout he centuries - you picked some very fine examples!
ReplyDeleteCatherine, one of the most interesting features about these doors besides the details and standing the test of time is that they all feature some sort of door knocker. These are just as ornate as the doors.
ReplyDeleteAhh Paris... a city of such beautiful architecture. I love the image of the open door with the moped inside

ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Just imagine what stories the doors could tell. Another time, another place -- romantic?!
ReplyDeleteThey are monuments of their own, don't you think? I wish they could talk or write and deliver their secrets - which reminds me of the book "Le Journal Intime d'un Arbre"...

ReplyDeleteThe comings and goings of Parisians over the centuries - I like your focus on doors, Catherine. It looks beautiful there. Here in my mountains, it's also finally summer.
