We've been out and about a lot this week &, as we love French doors, we took the opportunity to share some with you.
from the very smart to the peeling paint
very heavy 13th c. church doors to keep out the English!
historic doors
Left: A former lepers hospital dated 1745 with the welcome "devs noster refugium"
(God is our refuge) above the door.
Right: A resting place for pilgrims travelling to Spain on the chemin de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. The date over the door is 1798 & the shell,
(symbol of Saint Jacques de Compostelle), to indicate pilgrims are welcome to stay.
Not a door but a window!
The shutter has been repaired with wood recycled from a packing box by a resourceful owner.
The door furniture can been really interesting too. Here is a little glimpse.....
Don't forget to visit our shop and take advantage of our pre-Christmas offer.
À bientôt,
