When you walk out of Our Lady of the Armies chapel, this is what you see, the narrow Gendarmes cul-de-sac!
La vue depuis Notre-Dame des Armées !

All the inside shutters have this hole in them. Your guess is as good as VDP's...
VDP ne sait pas ce que sont ces ouvertures dans les volets intérieurs. Quelqu'un saurait lui dire ?
Love the light here and the texture f this building.
ReplyDeleteThe 'half turret ' is great presumably it houses a spiral staircase, it's a real gem that you found. Beautiful light as well, perhaps the hole in the shutters is for keeping an eye on the citizens:)
ReplyDeleteHmm. . . . :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that half turret, Ciel!
ReplyDeleteI've got to say this is one interesting building! Perhaps the holes are a quick way for the church mice to get outside?
ReplyDeleteEasy. The residents are peeping Toms.
ReplyDeleteIt's a trap. If you walk down this alley the gendarmes will block off the open end and you will never be seen again.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe that would happen only if Ms. La Pen became president.
Question d'aération?
ReplyDeleteThe building and the hole in each shutter leaves lots to the imagination, which I like!! It's so interesting; good use of light and dark, too.
ReplyDeleteI do like how the shadows and color are falling.
ReplyDeleteThe half turret really grabs my attention.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is watching us...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the others above came up with the name "turret" for that bulging part. It really stands out for me too but, I didn't know what to call it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jack's right Ciel, but I'll be more discrete and say 'observation' holes 😊😀
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a partial turret quite like that before! Hmmm, I've lso never seen holes in shutters like that before.
ReplyDeleteIt's a mystery, as someone once sang many years ago!
