The steps and terrace are inviting... the dark corner in the background, not so much ;-) Who knows what could be lurking there? Great shot Genie. Love the black and white. Veronique
Love the B&W and the different balustrades and wrought iron detail you have captured. This is a great way to remind us that there are interesting photographic subjects everywhere you look! I hope you are home safe & sound!
Well, they're certainly inviting me, I know!! I, too, love the ornate wrought iron. Terrific, inviting capture as always, Genie! Hope your week is off to a great start, mon amie!
This is gorgeous photo. I love the metal railing. Gorgeous! If I were in Paris, I would spend hours just walking around taking pictures. Sigh...Bet you are getting excited about your trip!
This was a "locked" and gated entrance to a large home just outside of Parc de Monceau. The stairs led to a door, perhaps the back door of the mansion? The stone balustrade is an elevated "patio" although I am not certain of the French term other than terasse.
I often enter if there is a crack in the barrier, but this would have taken a climb over the top. Most of the gates have vertical bars and nothing to help one climb. (just kidding as I do not scale high gates with or without toe-holds!)
Welcome architecture, kate, and annabelle! Thanks to all for your comments and appreciation of the little secrets here. Just arrived home... two days and gone again.

i like this b&w picture.
Did you manage to break in somehow? :-)
And did you?...
Like the combination of the two balustrades

And what, pray tell, was going on beneath the footbridge?
Magnificent! I totally want to find this gem!
A grey but generous welcome. Lovely textures in monochrome.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the euro is on the way up again.
Lovely shot.

I hope you entered dear Genie so you can tell us what you saw.
The French do everything so pretty - even stairs!
I like very much your black and white picture.

Elegant, Genie. I think we need to act like we belong. Take my arm, Genie, we are going in . . .
So decorative and beautiful. Love it in B&W.

Une bien belle rampe...
Une invitation certaine...

Parfait en noir et blanc. :)
Love the details of the ironwork.
Makes me wonder what's at the top.
