I love the symmetry of the windows and the silhouette of the person standing on the sidewalk.
What beautiful stables. I like imagining the person waiting for a horse instead of a bus.
I am with brattcat...much more romantic to think of waiting for a [horse] carriage
Can I volunteer for horse duty in France? Spectacular windows, I imagine the inside is very well lit.
Wow! Much too nice for jsut horses. . .
Not your typical barn.
Gosh, that's what the horses got to stay in! I like the solitary figure amidst the big building.
je me demande si c'est pas la ou Bartabas donne des cours et fait certaine de ces representations
How wonderful. What may be everyday to you is very exciting to me. Thanks. MB
@ Olivier : c'est là !
Je me dis que le petit roi devait avoir un vrai petit poney avec plein de jolis rubans et que comme tous les enfants il devait y être attaché...
Les chevaux étaient bien logés, les stales, claires, feraient de beaux logements, vastes et même des duplexs.
(Faut dormir avec des chaussettes, un bonnet de nuit et une écharpe et ne pas attendre le bus dans les courants d'air)
Est-ce donc un carosse qui viendra la chercher?..
Great! An image where the background is everything.
Wouldnt you love to just step back in time to when it was used . Lovely. xxx
elle attend un hippomobile
A lonely, solitary, pensive moment......... time to reflect on history as well as those temptations in the store windows from Sunday!
Le passage du carosse au relais ?
What a view while waiting for a bus or a horse. Ha!
If she only rode a horse...
I remember the stables. Very impressive!
Excellent photo - the vertical lines juxtaposed with the horizontal lines makes for an especially interesting shot. And the woman waiting gives the whole thing a sense of scale.
So sorry you're so ill. That is not fun at all! May you heal quickly!
Ciel, thanks for visiting HDP today. Yes, you would love the Griswold Inn. It is a favorite in the region. You asked why Essex is called Essex. Here is what I posted in the comments section.
@Cieldequimper: Inquiring minds want to know, so I looked it up on the internet, which, as you know, is always accurate.
Like many place names in New England, the name Essex was probably borrowed from names of the places back in England where our ancestors came from. (Mine came from Ireland, but you know what I mean . . . )
But, I like an answer I found when I googled "What does 'sex' mean in place names?": Sex here means Saxons. So Wessex, Essex and Sussex were the western, eastern and southern Saxons. Presumably, the northern Saxons lived in Nosex and all died out!
What a beautiful back drop. I would not mind waiting for the bus on such a nice bus stop.
Hope this person did not have to wait long. It looks cold!
It sure does look chilly there!
I'd love to wait for a bus near the stables.
Your title reminds me of a sign on a door. When I lived in a monastery in Switzerland my cell's name was la Attente.
I love the architecture of the stables, Ciel. What a grand building.
I have a post up just for you. :-)

I could see myself there in this scene of "my life"! :)
Wonderful picture!
