After an excellent lunch, it’s always good to take a walk. Because we’re here during the week, there are slightly less tourists than usual, so let’s be thankful for that. But you still have to be careful not to suddenly stop when you see just the right door (or a great patisserie.) You might get rear-ended.
Old churches often have great doors and these first two prove that rule.
Sidewalk seating is always nice, but on a hot day, the sunny side of the street isn’t as attractive, at least until evening.
Doorscursion Central is found in Montreal on Norm’s site. You can visit, participate, or both. Just click on the highlighted link which will be live once I get up and link my post. Happy Thursday!
This, that and the other thing 
Oh, nice finds! I really love the contrast of the stark silver ironwork against the warm wood doors themselves.
Hardware can make such a difference, can’t it, Hannah? Thanks for visiting and commenting. It’s always appreciated. Have a terrific Thursday.
Such beautiful doors!
Thanks, Aletta. 🙂
Great post 🙂
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting.

These are great doors, Janet. That first one is magnificent and those hinges are amazing!
I knew you’d enjoy the hinges, Dan. 🙂 They are quite something, aren’t they?
They are beautiful.
Handsome selection of doors!
I thought so, too, Sheree. Thanks. The hardware really adds to their looks. 🙂

They certainly don’t make doors like they used to. Your historic collection is magnificent.
Hey, nice to see you, Lisa (so to speak.) I always stock up on doors photos when I’m in France and in Philadelphia. 🙂 Thanks for popping in!
janet
Beautiful hardware, and very nice photography
Thanks to both, Alice. Appreciate you mentioning the photography as well as those doors. 🙂

Love the tone of this arch door. Well captured, Janet!
Thanks, Amy. There are some magnificent doors there…and all over France.
I want to go to Colmar now 🙂 Lovely doors!
The historic part of Colmar is well worth a visit, even with tourists (which we were as well.) I’m happy you enjoy it with me, at least a tiny, tiny bit of it.

I love the golden light on all of these and the decorative hinge plates on that last one are stunning. Excellent finds Janet 🙂
Thanks, Norm. This is a set I knew you and Dan would particularly like. 🙂
Love that second door in particular Janet.
Thanks, Su. Those first two were right next to each other, so quite a wonderful sight. 🙂
Wow, those hinges are just amazing. It looks like (from the lighting) you were there at twilight.
We were there right in the middle of a very warm, sunny day. 😉.
Beautiful doors.
Thanks. Glad you like them.

Those first set of doors look wide enough for a carriage to enter through them!
The hardware on the second is amazing. Good doorscursion and walk!
It was a good day, doors or otherwise. 😉
The hardware on the second door is exquisite!! While the last door would have stood out on its own, the 2nd one steals the show.
The good news is that you liked them all. 🙂 The hardware on all these doors is what really makes them eye-catching.
Fabulous finds! The ironwork on that second door is stunning! As, I am sure, was that sun.
Right now I’d love to have some of the sun, as we’re getting more rain today. Yes, the ironwork is wonderful and much of what makes the doors special.

Love the church doors. Fewer people is always good for taking photos. =)
Oh, so true, Brenda! 🙂
janet
Such detail in those wooden doors!
Someone put time, effort, and talent into them, didn’t they? Probably more than on someone.
janet
Historic doors win out over modern every day of the week.
I agree, they’re very appealing. But they would look so wrong on modern homes. 😉
Ooo! Love these. Especially the first one, nice!
Pat
Many thanks, Pat. 🙂

*puts on bad French-American accent* C’est so Fraaanch!
Beauties, all!
Merci beaucoup, Joey. 🙂
