You probably think I took this photo somewhere outside Paris? All wrong! I took it in Le Passage Lhomme near Bastille a very old quarter of Paris where there used to be small industries and craft. Now almost all this is gone (not all though, in this passage you still can find some) but the scenery has remained intact. Like this old garage door...
number 8 : great!!!
ReplyDeleteBravo Eric
Gee! a gen-yoo-ine 18th Century garage, wow! ;-)
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot Eric, I love it ! Very clever shot indeed, you are a brilliant photographer ! Oh, I love Paris so much ! You see the world through a fantastic lens and makes my life better everyday.
ReplyDeleteThis is just the daily highlight of my miserable existence
God bless you,
And thank you again.
Very original picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. I love quirky little things that defy town planners and standardisation. Very pleased I found your blog.
ReplyDeletevery good idea...
ReplyDeletele temps s'est arrêté...
Only found your blog last week ~ this is my favourite pic so far ... charming!
ReplyDeleteSuperbe photo. Comme je les aime. Une touche de rouge patinée par le temps, une plante verte et le tour est joué. Le garage est-il ouvert encore?
ReplyDeletePs.: J'apprécierais que tu m'envoies un courriel, j'ai un ou deux questions d'ordre technique sur le html.

Great shot, Eric. I especially love the cobblestones.
ReplyDeleteAnother secret of Paris discovered by our city's favourite phoblographer!
ReplyDeleteFor a moment, I thought you took a trip to a remote village or something. Well done!!!
ReplyDeleteThe lettering "garage" looks authentic, however old it may be. I'd guess 50's, 60's at the latest but who really knows? Anyone?
My guess is that whenever these letters were painted, the first "skyscraper" in La Defense wasn't even built yet.
Thank you for the nostlagia.
This is what I love so much about France. Such beautiful, quaint scenery in the least expected places. I love the use of color; the bright red door here and your very typical bright sky blue doors on farmhouses. C'est magnifique!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo, Eric !
ReplyDeleteI go for a walk to Bastille very often, however, I've never seen this garage...
Great photo! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteWe've got nearly the same in our village, has the difference that they are always in service...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see Paris Daily Photo still up. I tried to access the website from home and school yesterday and both times I recieved an error. So strange.
I took a similar photo of that door not so long ago.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the sign with the old chair hanging up a few doors down?
