Thursday Doors: Alençon

Only one door for your delectation this time. This is for various reasons, not the least of which is my own dumbness for thinking that Norm’s summer hiatus started this week rather than next.

However, I think it’s fair to say that it’s an absolute humdinger. This is the main entrance of the now abandoned, not-quite-derelict Hotel Grand Cerf (cerf = deer) in the town of Alençon, in Normandy.

They just don’t make them like this any more.

Spectacular. It’s so unusual to find such ornate doors that are almost the same colour as the stonework. Love it.
