Tired of Parisian Doors? I’m not. 😉
Passage Door that is almost painfully beautiful
Beautiful artwork
Very inviting isn’t it?
Knock knock
Never tire of knockers

Like I said, no shortage of interesting graffiti. Maybe I should go over and start a Parisian Graffiti walking tour?
Tell me, do you find graffiti a nuisance? Attractive? Interesting? Scary? I found most of the art to be innocent and interesting in Paris. There was relatively little that was obscene or gang related. So, for the most part I enjoyed it unless it was over top something I felt had a lot of history that was ruined. In many ways it provided interest to areas that were relatively uninteresting. In other places, it seemed to just be everywhere and if I lived there I imagine I would get tired of it. What do you think?

There is actually so much interesting graffiti in Paris I quit photographing it and just focused on the art I thought was different, or weird, or interesting in some way. I couldn’t believe how great some of the art was, how prolific it was, and how it almost seemed to be encouraged in the right locations.
Where is the best graffiti you have seen? Feel free to link a graffiti post of yours to this one if you would like. Sharing is caring! 😉

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.

There is no lack of interesting Parisian Graffiti to go around. Below are a few excerpts of some of my favorites. Others will be included in future posts surely.

There are so many parts of traveling I enjoy. Architecture is one of them. And Doors make a big impact on architecture. France makes a solid effort at keeping their doors real for sure.
I mean seriously? Look at this door. It’s perfect in color, shape, ivy, knob, button…I need to know who lives here. 😉
Not your typical french style door.
Makes you wanna know what’s behind it doesn’t it?
I think a gate can count as a door when there are flowers this pretty behind it.
I don’t even remember where I saw this door but I love everything about it.
Doors on cemeteries count too, right? Pere Lachaise Cemetary.
Thanks to Norm 2.0 for inspiring me to share my doors!
The Daily Post is featuring Doors today too! Check them out!
So, it turns out I had too many photos to put in one post. So, lucky you I made another! A pleasant surprise when visiting Giverny was the interior of Monet’s beautiful home. It took me a lot to put away my camera and to leave the garden but that is exactly what I did. I didn’t really have any expectations about the house since I really came for the garden. I was pleasantly surprised by a large house with lots of light that was comfortable and smartly put together.
The lovely building, painted pink and green (it somehow weirdly works), has been lovingly restored to what it looked like in Monet’s day. Monet had a lovely studio and an apparent love for Japanese art. It was also a joy to view his gardens from every window and angle in the home.
Additionally, one can walk down to look at Monet’s pond where he painted the famous waterlilies and Japanese bridges. The tulips followed us and we got a magnificent view of the pond. The waterlilies weren’t out and the wisteria was only begin to bloom. But with all the tulip action nothing was going to ruin my mood, not the rain, the clouds, or the cool weather.
Can anyone think of a place that gave more inspiration to a single artist that Giverny? I am sure they are out there I just can’t think of any. What about locations, like this, that were built just as an artist’s muse?
