When we went to Paris, we knew nothing! I mean nothing! So, we were delighted to see how so many buildings are built around an inner area or courtyard, and I took photos like this, too.
Ce pourrait être faubourg St Antoine et ce serait beaucoup moins classe (des ateliers ou quincailleries spécialisées par exemple) Un ancien hôtel avec tout pour loger la tribu ? Les écuries, les communs et l'habitation des maîtres ? (Ma photo d'aujourd'hui a des airs de celle-ci tu verras, mais c'est tout à fait différent : du nouveau qui fait vieux. Les différentes hauteurs d'étages alors qu'il y a des normes. Tu sauras lire la façade)
@ all: this is just a building with apartments in it, probably built in the mid to late 18th century. Many houses in cities in France have inner courtyards, simply because a long time ago, that's where the horses would have been kept.

ReplyDeleteGreat shot...great memories. Thanks!
What a great find and well captured by you.
ReplyDeleteTres reussie cette photo avec ouverture sur l'arriere cour.
ReplyDeleteIt looks intriguing, I'm wondering what it opens onto.
ReplyDeleteA bit of mystery here to draw in viewers. What lies behind?
ReplyDeleteHandsome doorway . . . don't forget your November 1 theme day!
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if an Angel protects one as they enter onto this street. Nice...
ReplyDeleteSuch privacy and seclusion. What goes on behind closed doors, stays behind closed doors!
ReplyDeletelike the view your photo provides of the distance environment! Nice cherub above the doorway also!
ReplyDeleteAujourd'hui on a deux portes pour le prix d'une !
ReplyDeleteLooking inside raises more questions than answers.
ReplyDeleteNice shot! I like the composition, and the door with beautiful details is very pretty.

ReplyDeleteI love peeking behind doors and gates. You never know what you will find. Sweet little cherub in the pediment.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue.It is a nice color.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing behind the door into the inner courtyard. It's a very nice doorway too. I hope you are saving up a really grand doorway for theme day.
ReplyDeleteUn regard et une pensée ...
ReplyDeleteLa poésie dans le cœur!
J'ai adoré cette photo!
