There's enough of those in Paris to keep you busy for many years.

The colonial areas of Mexico have some wonderful doors. In fact there
are several photo books on this subject, most notably _The Doors of
San Miguel_.

Mexico, in general, is full of great artwork.....the people are too poor to
do much of anything else, and their art is bold and strong, and full of
brilliant colors.....It reminds me of Van Gogh.
