I love that color, and I love old doors, too -- especially the blues and greens, and the older and more rustic/chipped the paint, the better.

What a stunning photo of but one shade of the vibrant palette of southern France... beautifully composed with soft lighting.

Bises,

Me too. I might have to repaint our shutters...

A typical Languedoc color, too. One of my favorite things about this region is how colorful it is.

I love old doors! When I drive through neighboring villages I'm always on the lookout for old wood doors, old painted doors, old rusty doors...

So true! I really noticed the difference when we visited the Loire and Normandy last year. The pale colors of the doors and shutters of the Loire were really beautiful too.
