Paris is delightful for so many reasons, and one of the fascinations with the city for me is the doors. As you stroll the streets, you’ll notice so many styles of doors, and such character to them. In a city known for it’s clean, white architecture, the doors can add a pop of color. 
Even the neutral colors add intrigue to a building. 
My favorite doors are at the Cluny Museum. 
Just look at the hardware on these doors! 
We stayed near the Sorbonne, and these doors do not disappoint. Here are some views from our walks up and down this street where the school takes up a long block.
I think my interest with the doors of Paris goes beyond architecture and color. It fires the imagination to picture the people who have gone in and out over the years — sometimes over the centuries. 
Paris being so rich in history, of course some of the doors of speak of battles and heroes. Plaques of remembrance tell what happened near these Paris doors. 
How about you? When you see a worn door, do you wonder about all the comings and goings that door has witnessed?

Such a gorgeous collection!
The french do have some pretty spectacular door knobs. Love all the detail!
What a vast variety of colors and shapes of materials. I have always thought double front doors are cool but never seem to see any around me. Thanks for sharing!
Your doors are beautiful. I love doors also especially in our older cities of Santa Fe, New Orleans, and San Antonio.

Oh how wonderful doors! I love the blue ones!
Such beauty. I do not think I have ever seen such ornate doors.
Wow – what a great post! I’ve been to Pars before but never paid attention to the doors (neither did I anywhere else actually) but definitely will in the future!
Yes! I love checking out all the details. Lovely collection of doors #FarawayFiles
I love things like this. All the fixtures and fittings, and the fact that they are, let’s say weathered, shall we? Enjoyed browsing!
Parisians have a truly unique sense of aesthetic. Love the details on these doors! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I have a bit of an obsession with the doors in France too! I keep thinking of doing a post similar to yours. Really enjoyed this, thanks for linking #citytripping
Doors are such an intriguing subject. The thought of what lies beyond them is fascinating. Some beautiful doors here.
All these are so beautiful doors, Sharon, but they could have been anywhere in Europe. I’ve seen them in Budapest, in Prague, and even in Bucharest. You had a great idea to write about them. I love it! #THeWeeklyPostcard
The door in Paris are delightful! I really like the colors and details you capture. I enjoy photographing doors and windows on the places I go. I found a lot of beautiful ones in Nee York and Philadelphia. The ones in several cities in Mexico are great too. #TPThursday
Ha! We do the same thing traipsing around Europe taking pictures of doors and door knockers and house numbers. They just all feel so old and beautiful and charming and …. DIFFERENT. My husband literally came home from our Italy trip with 100 images different door knockers. Love Paris. The doors. And the details. Thanks for this intimate look and for sharing with #FarawayFiles.

Great pics! I love the detailings of these doors – carvings and especially doorknobs – some could be peculiar but equally interesting as well 🙂
wow, lots of doors with “personality” Think you had fun catureing them 🙂
We’re absolutely spoilt for door in France. In Provence, we have quite a few that would be able to contend with the beautiful ones in Paris! One of the joys of walking around old cities is appreciating the details and architecture.
These are terrific pictures! I particularly appreciated the attention you gave to the details of the hardware and locks on so many of the doors. And of course one of the great pleasures in wandering the streets of Paris is to imagine what marvelous courtyards and facades are hidden BEHIND these beautiful doors! Thanks for sharing this on #AllAboutFrance.
Ooh lovely! Give me doors, balconies, rooftops and stone carvings and I’m a very happy bunny #AllAboutFrance
I always love stopping and appreciating smaller architectural aspects in new places, like doors, mailboxes, shutters, flower boxes and more. (And I know I’m not alone!) Love this post…doors really do add so much character to a place like Paris! #allaboutfrance
Your doors really capture the grandure of Paris. Door spotting is a great activity when in European cities. #AllAboutFrance
I love a good bit of door porn! Doors and windows feature heavily in my holiday photos and Paris is a great place to indulge. There are some lovely doors here. Thanks for linking up to #AllAboutFrance
