Wednesday for – when is a window not a window?

Rue du Petit-Saint-Martin, Tours — a window that now opens only into imagination.

Each Wednesday, we look more closely at the windows of the Loire the quiet details that hold the region’s character in stone, timber, and memory.

On Rue du Petit-Saint-Martin in Tours, this window no longer opens to light or air. Instead, its shutter has become a canvas, transformed by a delicate mural of a woman emerging from the old wood as though she belongs to the history of the street.

Here, a window is not a window at all but a story painted onto a forgotten frame. In the Loire Valley beauty has a habit of appearing where you least expect it.

“Sometimes even a sealed window offers a view.”
