La grande porte
This grand entrance can be seen from a block away with its imposing doors, ornate carvings, and grill-work. The courtyard drive entrance could have been a film set and I expected to see a large black car exiting past those archway columns. It reminded me a bit of the scene in les Intouchables in which a car was parked in the "no parking" zone, blocking the entrance. Omar Sy should appear at any moment.

Hello Genie:
Such grandeur in the form of stone carving and ironwork. We love it all!
Such a magnificent entrance Genie. How wonderful it would be to walk through that doorway each day.
It is spectacular, Genie. Can you imagine coming home to that every day? I can.
How elegant! Beautiful photo, Genie. Just beautiful!
Very imposing. Wish I were walking past right now, on my way to a cafe!
beautiful facade
Lovely, with the face looking down
Nice.
Oh Genie, what a beautiful sight for the eyes.. I love the carving and ironwork.
I know exactly the scene you mean. And yes, this architecture always blows me away.
If I lived here, I'd probably feel like I couldn't walk through that doorway unless I were dressed to the nines! (But small price to pay, eh?)
I like all of the details.
Il fallait imposer le statut social, en imposer, quoi !
J'adore l'architecture. peut-être étais-je l'architecte de la grande pyramide dans une vie intérieure, j'ai eu une tel émotion en la voyant ! Pas celle du Louvre, celle de Kéops !
Trêve de plaisanterie, il y a longtemps j'étais allée à la recherche des *bâtiments* art nouveau à Paris. Il y en a, malgré tout pas mal. Je n'avais fait que ça lors de cette escapade.
Bon Week-end !
