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:

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:

The first two are also examples of old doors juxtaposed with more modern ones:

These next two could be described as a ‘before and after’:

And finally a door that isn’t brown:

(There are plenty more doors to come from Cahors, but for the next couple of weeks, just for the sake of variety, I’ll be posting some samples from another more leisurely re-visit to a place that’s featured here before.)
