The Doors Of Paris

Travel

I recently traveled to Paris and was blown away by just about everything, from the arts and culture, to the architecture and the amazing chapels. However, I actually had no idea that the something so simple, doors, would captivate me. No joke, I had never heard about Parisian doors or how gorgeous they could be. But, on day one, as I was walking along the Seine river on Quai de Conti I kept seeing these breathtaking, old, historic doorways, painted in vibrant colors. Instead of replacing these doors, Parisians have taken great pride in their age and simply updated them with color, almost always keeping original hardware too. This was my first walk in Paris and I couldn’t help myself but to start taking pictures of the door of Paris.

The Doors Of Paris

When I was on the plane ride back home I uploaded my photos and decided to write a blog post of the doors of Paris. I knew I needed to do a little background history first, aka google search, for a blog title (good SEO) and discovered that I am not the first person to have fallen in love with Parisian doors. lol. Yes, it is a thing and I adored it just like many others have as well.

What also surprised me more was that so many Parisian doors are painted a grand royal blue. Blue is a very popular color for doors and I had NO IDEA when I painted my own door blue a few months ago. I knew the color of your front door says a lot about your personality, and for that reason I had decided on a deep blue. I knew there was a history of painting doors blue in Greece but not Paris. So, yea, you can imagine I was happily surprised to see “my door” color all over Paris.

Here are some easy go to tips to adding curb appeal to your home, from a pop of color front door to planters. For me, check out www.homewithkeki.com #curbappeal #popofcolor #interiors. #homedesign

    Wow these are absolutely beautiful. I can’t say I’ve ever taken the time to admire a lovely door but your post has made me appreciate the beauty in them!

    Those are some amazing doors. You just don’t see doors like that here in the US…well at least not near me.

    Those are some very classy doors! I love the color blue it looks sophisticated and welcoming. It’s nice that you chose that color for your door. These are awesome to look at and they’d be nice as an inspiration too, if you’re planning to makeover your door at home.

    Heard that Paris is one of the best places to visit. Adding it to our bucketlist and still hoping that we can go as soon as possible! Love these doors

  7. Terri Steffes says

    Great minds! I have a door post from Paris on my blogger bucket list! I love that you learned about the blue. My door is yellow (my house is blue!) and I’m wondering what that says about me!

  8. Rhian Westbury says

    I’m going to be honest I didn’t notice the doors specifically when I have been in Paris but the one’s in this post are stunning, so ornate x

  9. Cindy Ingalls says

    Even though Paris is not my favorite city, I love the architecture. The doors on homes and buildings are so beautifully designed. You can definitely get lost for hours explore all the different colors and designs.

    I think it’s all of Europe. Many of these doors can be found in England too, especially victorian era houses. Very beautiful indeed

    I love looking at doors and have several pictures from my holiday. My favourite ones were the house doors at Notting Hill in London. Absolute love.
