Thursday Doors: Mortemart
Mortemart, about a twenty-minute drive from here at Tranquility Base, is listed as being among the most beautiful villages in France, according to the association Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. It’s all a matter of individual taste, of course, and personally I don’t think it’s a patch on Montrol-Sénard, which is another five minutes up the road and has made many appearances on this blog, and not just on the theme of doors.
However, it does have a few interesting doors, including this one, my particular favourite. Who can resist a ‘two-tone’ example that also boasts a ‘door within a door’?
or a long disused one like this:
Or even this more prosaic example:
Thursday Doors 18 August 2016
You found some some gorgeous material to work with this week. The rusted kick-plates on the first shot really caught my eye.
Old doors…lovely! The two-toner is fairly quirky, you must have had to stoop to get through the inner door….
Thank you. I think the smaller door might have been for getting a sheep inside without opening both large doors. Or not.
There’s so much going on with those two-tone doors, great photo. I love the stonework in that house, too.
I like them all and I love the stone houses.

Great finds; I like the 2-tone door too!
