On Sunday we are meeting up with a few friends at our nearest town, locally it is known as Granit town. We will be treated to a special Christmas Sunday market (30 stalls) that's big for Louvigne du Desert, and the entertainment will be some Breton dancers.
On the subject of Granite and stone, Brittany is well known for its old houses built of stone, with dark slate roofs. I am a bit of an anorak when it comes to looking at buildings, so I am glad that there is plenty to admire on my doorstep so to speak.
I love the details above the windows here, in Fougeres.

PS. I do like modern too.
PPS. What is your favorite building?
The French word for slate is ardoise.
The French word for window or door frame is embrasure

The blue door and geraniums makes me feel happy. I've been browsing through your paintings in amazement, Blu. What a joy!
ArtPropelled it was nice to see that you had made a visit to my Flickr, many thanks. x
Ah, so that's where you have your paintings...I'll take a peek.
I would expect nothing other than a Blu door!
Enjoy the Sunday markets and dancing...hopefully we'll see a few pictures.
Ken Flickr is full of art and art groups!
Love your photos Blu
Thanks Rosalyn...
I've admired the photo of your door and pots before - and I'll do it again because it is so charming.
As for the tops of the windows - I'm always looking up at the tops of buildings when I'm wandering around. Lots of hidden gems to be found

Wow - your bright blue doors surrounded by all that old stone are just fabulous!
