Un Chat Curieux en Villefranche

There was nothing down there. Believe me, I looked! I think this is the church cat as we later saw him or his brother in the window of the rectory.

FRENCH DOORS

The doors and doorways of Villefranche were so lovely with their faded, peeling paint. Why is it that we paint our doors so often and insist that they be pristine?? Just a rhetorical question for you to ponder. These are the doors and doorways that we found so fascinating as well as a couple of just plain beautiful pictures. I just love the ochre and terra cotta colors of the stucco, don't you?





Perfect color combination, n'est-ce pas?











The quintessential Villefranche street scene.

FENETRES au VILLEFRANCHE

I realize that we don't have many windows from France. The streets were very narrow and it was hard to have enough room to step back and get a good picture. I expected to see "French Blue" shutters, but almost every window had green, in one shade or another on their shutters. Perhaps it is a Riviera thing??









Perhaps next time we will have a "door post". We seem to have a lot of doors from France, not to be confused with French Doors, lol.

Later mes amis,

VILLEFRANCHE ( a mostly silent post)


Some random shots of a most glorious place. No words are necessary.




















The next post will feature windows or doors or both.

Au revoir,
Janet
