Paris Bleu




This post is for all of my readers who love the blue doors of Paris. There is an abundance of bleu in all shades and tints in the streets of Paris.

May your skies be as blue today as this door in the Marais.

    Voilà une porte typique d'une maison bourgeoise parisienne! A noter les planches en pied de porte, en raison des courants d'air. :-)

    My skies were looking blue earlier this morning, but now have turned a bit gray. :(

    Love this door though. So many great things to photograph in Paris.

    I read somewhere that the government (it wasn't clear whether it was city or state government) is making an effort to change the Marais. It has been my experience that this is rarely a good thing. I hope they don't destroy the integrity of the village. How lucky you were to just miss the latest stupid strike in Paris.

    I always find doors to be so intruiging because I always wonder who lives behind a particulat door.

    We have those blue skies for ever here I think. At least for 3 weeks now. Love the door and the iron work in it.

    megi -- C'est vrai et il y'a beaucoup de Paris rouge bien-sur, et aussi beaucoup de noir et blanc, mais je vais vous faire decouvrir Paris bleu de temps en temps. Merci!

    Richard -- Je n'ai pas les noté... Merci, mon ami!

    Loulou -- Moi aussi... I think that your area of France has lovely colors with much blue as well, n'est-ce pas.

    Ann -- There is much history in these doors... If they could only talk

    Vreni -- I will check on the address when I get home... This photo was for "you!"

    beau gosse -- Nous sommes d'accord!

    Brattcat -- Merci, mon amie

    Grace -- So glad to hear you are enjoying blue skies and that you like this.

    Halcyon -- I am enjoying blue skies in Michigan today, too!

    AA -- The detail found on doors is so much more interesting than one can find at Lowes - hahahaha!

    rosaria -- Merci, and you also

    Alexa -- Merci, mon amie

    Starman -- I am with you on this one.

    Loree -- Living in your island country with its mysteries and secrets... I agree!

    Amanda -- I do not know.... more research needed so I must go back (hehe)

    Anni -- I wish I was there too and we could hunt down all the blue doors in Paris... of course, we would be stopping at patisseries along the way

    This one benefits from some wear and fading. The metalwork is what catches my interest, even more than the blue of the door.

    beautiful. That's a perfect grey/blue and so gorgeous with the metal work (I think it's metal?) in the windows. Love the Marais!

    You are right, there is a lot of blue! (I suppose that is where the phrase French Blue comes from? ha).

    Doors are endlessly fascinating...in many cities throughout the world; some of my favorites are Georgetown, DC, Santa Fe (of course) and Mazatlán, México (of course). Love both the blue and the iron work on this one.

    What is the significance of blue, I wonder. These doors are lovely.

    I am new to your blog and love it!
