One of my favourite places

We are back in France at the Villa de Mazamet, probably our favourite B&B on the continent.  When I'm here, I love to look at the ornamental ironwork around the villa.  I'm surprised I haven't blipped the canopy over the front door before; probably too busy looking down at the steps as I go in and out.  It looks as though it has had a recent coat of paint.  I love the variety of shapes and swirls.
