I have taken these some years back in France finding these photos brought back a flood of memories. I found them on my phone yesterday, as I was looking for a certain photo, that I did not end up finding. It’s intriguing how a moment of searching for one thing can lead to the discovery of something entirely different yet equally appropriate for the moment. But these open and closed doors did. Given that it’s Dan’s Thursday Doors, it seems like the universe conspired to present you with a fitting tribute to the day.
In a way, this experience echoes the mysterious allure of doors, both literal and metaphorical. They invite curiosity, incite wonder, and beckon us to cross the threshold into the unknown.
The first really warm spring days are finally here, the joy of it is enormous – and for the life of me, I have not been able stay inside the house. After a very long winter the joy of sunshine, the nature slowly coming to life, watching the birds, seeing the first bumble bee this year.
Cut to the chase, I have not spent much time on my computer. I am so well behind in all comments, sorry!
I checked what does goulet means. French: nickname for a glutton or a topographic name for someone who lived by a narrow pass or defile, from Old French goulet ‘gullet’, a diminutive of goule ‘throat’ (from Latin gula). habitational name from (Le) Goulet, the name of several places in various parts of France.

A fabulous French miscellany!
Thanks Margaret :-)
Interesting Ritva, I’m also like you, sometimes I blog a lot other times not so much!
Alison, summer is going to slow me down, I have to take the all advantage of our short but beautiful summer in so once again I can endure the winter. I feel like I’m committing a crime by being inside during summer 😄
That’s hard, I can’t imagine living like that again!
;-D not so easy to move at this age 🙂
Thanks Ritva 😀 open and closed doors. Anita
Thanks 🙂
I am sorry you didn’t find what you were looking for, but I’m happy you found these beauties. I really like the open doors at the shops.
Brilliant finds!
I’m so happy the warmer days of spring have finally arrived! Enjoy every warm/sunny day outside while you can 😀! Oh yes, and I like the open doors that show off the pretty décor inside the buildings.
