Feeling French

How can a worn paint door and a stone wall look so beautiful?  I took this photo in Paris; at a little restaurant in the 6th arrondisemont where the door was propped open to let in the breeze.  I looked at this "door against the wall" throughout my dinner and knew that it had to be a photograph, so I got up from my seat between dinner and dessert to capture it before the light changed. 

The letter slot, the worn blue paint, the stone wall that is most likely two hundred years old...you know, what designers aspire to create these days - an authentic, French feel.  Don't you love it?
