Rue de Vaugirard - la porte


Rue de Vaugirard


This is not your typical blue door in Paris, but a deep azure taken from the Mediterranean palette.  The architectural design is crisp with fine detail but I do not know the architect.


The red scooter was a bonus.

    Hello Genie:
    Rather than a Parisian scene, this all looks so Italian to us, particularly the red scooter.

    As always, one is left wondering what exactly that imposing door conceals....!!

    I love the detail over the doorway, along with the colors. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme

    A red Vespa is a nice substitute to a Ferrari! :-)

    I love that particular shade of blue - a hint of sea green in it. Just another magic Monday!

    You know that I´m obsessed with the blue doors in Paris. This door has a rather unusual colour and is very simple but I love it.
