Wednesday Doorway: la chapelle de la Providence

Immediately next to Saint-Louis cathedral is the entrance to the Providence Chapel which was built in 1764.

  1. A nice-looking door for sure. Why, to you think, they call chapels by the name of "Providence"?

    What is "providential" about them?

    Sorry, I'm just being a little snarky this evening! No, I'm not sorry, I'm enjoying it.

    Hope you're sound asleep by now!

    Au revoir!

  4. The architecture was grand, Roman with a french imperial twist. It could be a tomb as well as a chapel.

  9. Olivier is right, there is something strange in this façade, almost esoteric... Always funny to find a street number on a building like this.

  11. Moi ce que j'aime dans cette porte, c'est son bleu si particulier..Le bleu et blanc, c'est une association très mediterranéenne..

  13. My mom used to have a poster that had a mish mash of doorways and it was very cool - I think you should make one with all of your doorways...very neat!
