Oh so charming, lovely and old. Beautiful light and clarity. Nice framing of the shot. I like it just the way it is but wonder how it would be without the left side of the structure cut off, unless there was other distractions there.
I adore the window flowers.

@Barbara: Thank you Barbara. I took all the house but I have crop the walls a little to concentrate on the facade which is better in my opinion.

Just perfect.

Lovely photo of a charming old building!...your photo is very sharp but I can't quite make out the date above the window - I can see 3 of the digits: 1*93 but the crucial number looks like it is partly missing (it looks like a 2 but I doubt that very much!). These vernacular buildings look so great because of their human scale and the fact that they are made of local natural materials makes them feel so at home in the landscape.

@Ian Bramham: Thank you Ian. I have zoom on the picture and it seems to be a zero but not very sure. I did look on internet about this historical village and they start on the 11th century to the 15th century.

Really nice shot. Great texture, great color and the slight intrigue of that man in the window.

Très belle image , les vieilles pierres sont bien mises en valeur mais je me demande si ça ne serait pas mieux en ayant un des pignons de la maison? et le fait que le cadre soit blanc et grand montre encore plus qu'elle est coupée ,surtout à gauche .

Très belle photo, la textures des vieilles pierres est bien mise en valeur. Perso je ne suis pas gênée par le cadrage carré qui a coupé les 2 pignons mais quand je m'attarde sur la photo , par l'amputation du bas de la porte... comme quoi chacun a son ressenti.. Par conte j'aime bien le vieux monsieur à la fenêtre, je verrais bien une photo rapprochée autour de cette fenêtre habitée entre fleurs et vieilles pierres envahies de lichens. L'as-tu faite ?

@Evelyne Dubos: Merci Evelyne. J'avais remarque le bas de la porte coupee mais c'est le cadrage d'origine (j'etais en contre bas de la maison et je crois qu'il y avait un element genant). Tres belle maison mais je n'ai pas su la prendre sous un bon angle. Je vais essayer un autre crop pour voir...

What a lovely old house! A little weather-beaten but still firm! Really beautiful shot!

A very beautiful shot, full of character and history. I love the way you've captured the man looking out of the window.
