  1. Nice gate, it seems to have a few 'styles' going on in the design... Porchefontaine seems like an interesting area it looks very different from what we normally see in Versaille...

  5. Nice metal work. It looks like they have placed a blue blind behind it for privacy!

  14. One of the most recognised of all French emblems Ciel, looks good but somehow I think it might be better clear of a backing.

  15. I like the fleur-de-lis, the spiral twisted metal is an elegant touch.

    Are those venetian blinds attached to the fence?

  18. It looks strong and sturdy, rather old, and quite French.
