I hope you enjoy a nice mix of interesting doors from Paris. Doors that go nowhere, covered passage doors, old doors, and door knockers. Enjoy.
How cool is this door? It was actually part of a building at once time which has long since been torn down. The French people chose to keep the door. It is just standing there all by itself. I LOVE that.
Surely door knockers can be considered?
Oldest building in Paris.

I love that door knocker (love the turquoise) but the first door (the featured one) is one of the most curious doors I have seen in a while. The ornate past and history feel of those grand doors – with the graffiti and wear and tear…. oh wow.

Thanks. It was beautiful and interesting for sure. One where I think the graffiti even ads to it. Thanks for the comment and the follow. You are welcome anytime.

You will be the first to know. I’ve already completed step one: buying Pariscope, THE guide to entertainment in Paris. Weekly, all movies, theatre, museums, etc. I need to see when it closes. I’d rather not go on week-ends. Then I’m going to London next tuesday… Might have to leave it for the following week. 😉

No worries. Avoid the crowds of you can for sure. And go early so you can spend the rest of the day in town eating.

Haha! Can’t spend the whole day eating. The advantage is that I have no schedule, no particular plan. Having several weeks ahead, i can decide where i go the very morning. I have bought Pariscope, the weekly bible of entertqinment to circle the places i want to go. At a leisurely pace.

I’ve always thought other parts of the country had accents and we didn’t but that is prob closed minded of me. The northeast, the south, Texas all have different sounds to them. Even Chicago has an accent.

I think you’re absolutely right. South of the Mason-Dixon “laine”, Naw yowk. Even Chicago. I had a great teacher in behavioural sciences in Grad school from Chicago. And he sounded a bit like Canadians. Which is why I would agree with you: your’s seems to be “middle-of-the-road” accent. American definitely but not “skewed” one way or the other. 🙂

I love the accents. It’s interesting to me. I always wished I new more about how they became what they became.

An interesting question. I tend to think that accents originate inside the family and spread… 🙂 (For instance, there are many Southern accents: Geawgia people don’t speak like Alabamer or Texas… 😉

But then did their accents originate from the settlers who first came over from Europe in that area? Many groups had a tendency to settle with their own people in the various states. French, Irish, Scottish, and so on.

Doesn’t really sound like anything but neither does the southern accent. My mystery will remain unsolved for another day. Need to ask a linguist some day. I even read a few books on linguistics hoping they would address that and sadly they did not.
