Doors

My Belgium blogger friend, Jientje, has issued a challenge for her regular readers....doors. She loves to photograph doors; they intrigue her. So, for the next week, she's invited us to post about doors. The challenge actually begins on Monday, but I've decided to offer a preview of the doors I'll blog about....French doors. Not your Americanized version of French doors...those multi-paned double doors that swing open onto your patio or sunroom...but rather real doors photographed in my two favorite France-places, Paris and Provence. I'll share some beautiful doors as well as some unusual ones. The unusual ones begin with this photo taken from inside my B&B in Goult. There was a normal door leading from the living room out into the garden, but it was very warm the afternoon I took this picture, and Dani had opened the glass door, leaving in place this 'door' of beautiful, thick netting appliqued with grapevines. The breeze could circulate, but the bugs could not; they stayed where they belonged--in the garden! The netting billowed with each breeze and made a charming alternative to a screen door. Come visit my blog tomorrow and I'll share the door that opens into my lovely 'home' when I visit Goult...La Treille.
