Shutters in the Old Town
These blue volets (shutters) caught my eye. In fact this blue is more often seen further along the coast in St. Tropez. Typical Menton colour is a pale turquoise or eau de nil. In the photo below you can see where I found this window.
ohh this is a very cute corner:)
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about crumbling walls and peeling paint that attracts us so much? Especially if the walls are in France and the color is indigo ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, we don't have many of them here ;-)
It's amazing how uplifting a little splash of bright color can be.
ReplyDeleteI love this mediterranean blue - it always reminds me of greek islands.
ReplyDeleteOf course as you know we have same in Italy along Liguria coasts. Typical colour here is green.
ReplyDeleteUseless to say I love this photo.
Gorgeous color for the shutters...and beautiful photos, esp. the first one!
ReplyDeleteReminds me that we are getting to the time of hot days and cool shuttered stone interiors. There is something I like about the temperature management process in places where we don't rely on airconditioning. Almost a way of life
ReplyDeleteLove th colors on the windows. Yes, the violet is the most beautiful but I like the yellow and light blue windows too.
ReplyDeleteThat deep vibrant blue is so arresting; it tends to stop you in your tracks. Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteI love the stucco, too, the roughness and the nuances of color...
