An Amble in Richelieu

to reduce the layering of cake carbohydrates!
I just love this and wonder what the shop sold
Who had to hear this?
A grand giant knocker alerted the Doctor for the King. He lived in this house which became a  hotel, however, he couldn't afford to pay the (purchase?) price of 10,000 livres. Building costs were more economical to have no alleyway, therefore no gates into the courtyard. It is the only hotel which never had a grand hallway entrance onto la Grande Rue.
Whereas this one, on the second of the four ways of the crossroads does have the porch onto La Grande Rue as well as different window styles to the side of the house in the street opposite the grand knocker!
 
Different window styles
Part of La Grande Rue with Arched gate entrances for every house. Each was afforded by a person of rank. I believe.
An example of how to reduce window size!
I like the deep mulberry blue and planter on the door!
 
 Above: two interesting gardens down to the 'canal' behind the uninteresting façades below.

Well he would work in wood, wouldn't he?

This lean-to would worry me but it is held-back!
A strange surprise.
