It’s Thursday! I have been looking forward to this all week.
Below are a few of my favorite doors from my recent trip to Paris. There are too many to share in one post so I will likely provide more in coming weeks. I hope you enjoy. And as always, I come home from a trip like this wanting to replace the door on my own house…
Door inside the Notre Dame
Door outside the Notre Dame. This door has actually made an appearance on my blog once before. But, look at it! It is magnificent.
Door outside the Notre Dame. It’s spectacular.

Thanks to Norm 2.0 for inspiring me to share my doors!
Cee has also had a great door challenge recently that is well worth visiting!

Montmarte was definitely my favorite place. Such a quaint (and hilly) little town rich in history!

I really liked it there too despite the workout one gets walking around. I will have posts on that forthcoming. 🙂 Thanks for the comments.

That’s for sure. And all of the old doors just fit in perfectly in Paris. They wouldn’t fit in where I live at ALL. But, I still wish I had one. It seems they almost strive to have old doors. New doors stick out like a soar thumb.

That outer door, the carvings, everything about it: spectacular! Well done.
If you haven’t already, don’t forget to swing by and add this post to the link-up list.
Cheers 🙂

Thank you very much. They certainly spared no expense making the doors utterly amazing on the Notre Dame. Thank you so much for the comment… 🙂

Three very different doors. The first seems strong and practical, the second ornate and churchy, and the third modern. I can see where one and two might not fit your house, but how about number three? Could the right mural artist capture who you are and place it on your door? I am sure you would be the talk of the neighborhood. 🙂 –Curt

Now you are talking. I think that would be a fun experiment to try. I wonder how many complaints I would get in the first week? 😉

I love doors! I’ve visited Notre Dame before, but I was only 15 and doors were not at my mind at that age;) It seems like I have to go back – it looks beautiful!

Great choice Jenny. The cathedral took about 2 centuries to finish. And it was started almost a millnium ago… I normally spend a while sitting in front of Notre-Dame to look at the details. I still remember, early sixties when they cleaned all the soot of centuries and the marvels were uncovered. 🙂
(The street art is new. Wasn’t there last summer. I’ll look it up.)
Be good.

If I had been there by myself I prob would have spent all day staring at it from every perspective. But it was very cold and very crowded. And I was really struck by the Gregorian Choir I had just enjoyed inside…

I can imagine. Mass in Notre-Dame is quite impressive. I close my eyes and imagine people from the 1300 in their medieval clothes praying and chanting in Latin. 🙂

No worry. It is a difficult language. Let’s work on it: “C’est difficile”. T(hat) is difficult. See the resemblance?

Sounds a lot like Spanish!

It does. Both languages share the same origin, Latin. Now, English vocabulary is 60% of french origin. It is easier when you look at a written text, because it takes away the accent. Theater comes from Théâtre. Vocabulary from “vocabulaire”. If you start looking at the structure of words, you will find that you can recognize some. It’s what I do all the time with foreign languages. At least within families of languages: Romance, Germanic, for instance. Slavic? No way! 🙂
