  1. Very, very different from the back door on my house ;^)

  4. It looks fantastic but I get also the feeling that they are dusting the portal.

  5. Definitely not the ordinary back door!! Great shot as always, Genie!
    My blog problems have finally defeated me and I'm giving up, but I will continue to visit and comment! Hope you have a great weekend!

  8. As the old saying goes ...if you've got it, flaunt it! Why not go a little overboard with the rear entrance? Lovely photo!!! I love the palm fronds!

  9. Very nice back-door Genie ... and I've learnt a new world "Les Caryatids" I like it a lot.

  10. Not too shabby—but you should see the front door. Right, Genie? (And thanks for giving me that big choco craving yesterday!)

  11. SC, you are right. There were many renovations, and I had to cross a barricade to get this shot. I just acted "official."

    Andy, I have many posts on Palais Garnier, and believe me, the front doors are astonishing!

    Mad, I am so glad that we had that dinner and I look forward to a repeat experience.

    Dianne, it was not too long after I started my blog that I discovered caryatids and so much more architectural details. Merci B

    Malyss, I felt important enough to ignore the restrictions - hah!

    Bises,
    Genie
