THE MOROCCAN TRIP : THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN TANGIER







VOYAGE AU MAROC: PRES DE LA MAISON A TANGER
One of the gates into the Kasbah; there are 3 but this is the closest to the house and also the most tunnel-like.
The little place; l'Africain, the wonderful little restaurant of jewelry designer Marie-Hélène de Taillac's sister has closed it's pretty blue doors, sadly.
The water fountain where the neighborhood gets its water. A lot of them have no running water.
The neighbor's charming little peach house. I love that the planters were squeezed into the window sill safety bars.
The diminutive front door. Notice the little tiled overhang above the door does not touch the left wall. That wall belongs to the neighbor,s house and he demanded that nothing touch his wall. I guess there is one "unhappy" neighbor in every area all over the world...
The newly bought aluminum tray table. The wood base will be painted gray to match all the house's ironwork.

au revoir.

  1. My sister's. But we did the renovation plans, sketches and purchases together so I consider it partly mine...and so does she, much to my delight.
