La Cour



La cour?


Oui, la petite cour...

This was a public area inside a small passageway, a little courtyard with a single boutique. There were residences above with open windows, windowboxes and CDs used to frighten away the pigeons (hah!)

    Very small courtyard I see. Funny with the fallen C.

    I like the black and white Genie it gives that air of emptiness.

    Meanwhile I'm having a frustration time, I post my today photo as there seems to be a problem with blogger. Ah well, eventually I hope.

    Best wishes

    Je pense que les lettres de COUR sont idéales pour servir d'aéroport aux pigeons :-)
    Mais les pigeons font aussi partie de Paris... :-)

    Catching up on blogging this morning and what a delight to scroll through your last few posts. Can't decide which is my favorite, bleu or les macarons! One photo really does tell a story. Amazing!

    This was such a quaint little courtyard. I loved the old water faucet and how it contrasted with the bright, shiny, modern letters. It looks wonderful in B&W!

    the letters look somewhat too clean bright and shiny for this little cour; and yet again, because it is Paris, it works ! it definitely works !

    Don't you just love to step into a little courtyard and discover an artful surprise like this? Good find, Genie!
    (I'm guessing the CDs were not an effective pigeon deterrent?

You've created a wonderful spot for your readers to visit and I really enjoyed the time I've spent here. I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary

    Well, it is interesting, but I would far rather have seen them turn it into a garden.
