Thursday Doors: Chez Philippe
Chez Philippe is what’s known in France as a ‘Lieu-dit‘ (literally, ‘a place called..’). This appelation is usually given to a group of buildings not big enough to constitute a village, or even a hamlet. This one is in the neighbouring commune of Nouic and consists mainly of an alpaca farm run by an English couple. It also has many interesting doors, including the only one I’ve ever seen with a window-box:

Aren’t they lovely those old doors. The first one reminds me of a photo my husband made of nearly the same kind of door in a hamlet in Spain. Maybe they date from the same time. Anyway, you certainly made the most of them.
Thank you. Seems like there’s nothing new under the sun.
Oh my a door with a window box, but it does need some TLC and some green fingers. Very interesting post.
Thank you. I think benign neglect is the best it can hope for, though.
So much weathered age and texture in each of these shots – wonderful 🙂
These doors were one of my favorites!
Love these old weathered doors.
Definitely the most interesting sub-category.
Very cool doors. I love the vine that’s hanging on the wall. Any idea what the purple flower is called?
That’s wisteria; also available in white. It’s lovely climbing on walls and fences, in’t it?
The doors are just great,full of character, but I also love the massive lintel on the window box door, and the beautiful purple wisteria draping across the wall, sets off the last door perfectly…
Thursday Doors heaven.
Oh how lovely, all of them. Love the wisteria over that last one!
No door is safe after seeing that photo. I’ve never come across a window box on a door, either. Love the idea, though, and your photos are fab.
Thank you very much.
The weathered wood in these photos is really beautiful.
