And finally my store of doors in the town of Cahors is exhausted.

Another characteristically carved door (with a rather incongruous entryphone):

A typical church door:

A more modern – and more dilapidated – example, formerly a grocery to judge by the faded sign:

Echoing one of last week’s offerings, another door in a repurposed doorway:

The last place we visited in Cahors was the cemetery. It is common for old French cemeteries to feature elaborate family mausolea and here are two prime examples:

Remember Cahors? Well there are still a couple of week’s worth of doors to see. The previous Cahors post (way back at the end of May, would you believe?) featured ornately carved doors, so for the sake of continuity, here’s another one:

In similar, if plainer vein:

And a few steps to add a little interest:

Here’s a rectangular door that’s been jemmied into an old arched frame:

Nothing so fancy in this example:

And finally, this is quite possibly one of the best doors in Cahors – and that’s really saying something:

The waiting is over….here’s another selection of the doors of Cahors, beginning with two gloriously tatty sets of double doors:

And another, in rather better condition (includes free reflection of author: you’re welcome).

And some single doors, in various stages of neglect:

More next week, then we’ll break off for a new destination.

The gift that keeps on giving…

Another selection of the myriad doors of the town of Cahors. I ended last week with the observation that the predominant colour of the doors was – not really surprisingly – brown. Like these:

Bored yet? How about a bit of white relief, as it were:

Or even some anarchic blue:

And finally something quite different. This shop-front – a former boulangerie – is quite readable:

There are still a fair few doors to come from Cahors (and I’m saving some of the best ’til last), but for the next couple of weeks we’ll be in the city of Poitiers.

Back to the town of Cahors yet again, for more doors from the medieval quarter, starting this week with a particularly shabby one:

Time to inject a little colour:

And some rather better cared-for examples. This one eases the transition from blues…

…to greens:

But there’s no getting away from the fact that brown is the prevailing colour:

Next week another selection from Cahors, then, by way of diversion, somewhere as yet unseen…
