Color and Magnificence in Every Entrance
The doors of Toulouse are grand and magnificent and colorful. I'm snapping photos right and left.
The Historic Streets of Toulouse
The rues of Toulouse span out from le Capitole. It's almost a maze of these old historic cobblestone streets spoking off from the large plaza where the capitol building stands.
Some of the doors are quite tall and wide, obviously reminiscent of the carriage doors that allowed for tall, stately horse-pulled carriages. How I long to live in those days. My son is quick to point out the smells that accompanied those days!
The Beauty of Wrought Iron
The French are fond of wrought iron and being one of my favorite things, I'm drawn to it like bees to nectar. These grand doors often have panels of wrought iron, which magnify the beauty while adding visualization into the courtyard and out to the rue. I'm trying hard to envision the original courtyards.
The colors I've seen: many hues of blue from the French blue to royal blue, greens, reds, yellow, brown, black, grey. They truly delight the senses.
Many doors appear to have their original knockers and handles. I plan to create a webpage with my pictures. I'll keep you posted.
Security and Beauty Combined
Back to wrought iron, all of the security fences I've seen are iron or wrought iron and they're glorious. Of course, they offer utmost security. I love security and beauty combined.
We now offer security fencing made of aluminum and steel. Keep your property and your clients’ property safe from intruders!
