Before leaving the Bastille area (see preceding post), I thought we should have a look at Cour Damoye. Like along the neighbouring Rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine (see previous post), you will find a number of small alleys and courtyards in this area and this is one of them.
Cour Damoye opens directly (via a porch) to Place de la Bastille. Suddenly you leave all the noise…
It would of course have been better to show you this little passage when the leaves and flowers are around.

Hi Peter! So, you're back to the Cours... ;)
Excellent shots!
That is a neat looking alley that I’ll have to investigate next time I am in Paris. Have you been to one, I think it is close to la rue du Faubourg Montmartre ou un peu plus loin, and they have Turkish restaurants there?
Also Peter I have to tell you that quite a while back je suis allée sur le site de Invisible Paris et je lis les posts regulièrement. Et bien il y a quelques jours il parlait d’un livre, genre série noire, écrit par une américaine de San Francisco (l’histoire ce passe dans le Marais.) J’ai le premier livre de la série et je suis déçue. J’ai écrit un long commentaire (trop long!) sur le site de Invisible Paris il y a quelques instants. Mais je vais continuer de lire le livre de Cara Black en essayant de ne pas penser aux noms des gens dans ce livre.
Then you'll have to go back for the leaves and flowers...
Décidement on ne met plus d'accent sur les majuscules nulle part! (thé/café)
Beaucoup de charme cette cour Damoye!
Yes, that was my first try with wallpaper! I am very proud of myself!
I loved this alley, I would not mind having an office there.
My true dream?? To go to Paris by myself and explore the city without a hurry. It must be wonderful to be alone in places like this.
That's the kind of alley I love running into while wandering around Paris. Hopefully the the/cafe place is as charming as the street it's on.
Excellent pictures! Its good to see that architecture is very well preserved and taken good care of!
Peter
It is all in the details -- if there were flowers blooming I would have missed the lovely details you show -- my focus was on the small fountain -- the dark green rose pattern over the door, the beautiful hanging lanterns , the iron works and the cobbled or stone path ways -- the Ambiance of the alley and the wonderful little shop signs -- making note to self to go and visit them in the future..
I am following you around Paris -- Peter through your great photography.
Merci
Joanny
Oh beautiful charm of the streets ...
:-)
I really like this aspect of Paris: magnificent photos, thanks for sharing!
Bonjour Peter,
Merci pour la balade, je ne connais de ce quartier que les 15/20...
bises et bonne journée !
So many wonderful places to explore - thanks for bringing them to us! I will be back in May, living just off of rue St. Antoine so I will make it a point to find this charming "cour" that I have missed.
Mention spéciale pour toi (et Lyliane) sur mon post ce matin. Mais ce n'est ni un prix, ni un tag.
Bionen promenade cours Darmoy.
j'aime beaucoup ces cours (ou plustot des passages) dans Paris, on a l'impression d'un petit Labyrinthe Parisien
Il y a beaucoup de cours dans ce quartier, certaines ouvertes, d'autres fermées. C'est toujours agréable de s'y promener.
Un coin de Paris tranquille et tout mignon. J'aime ces cours, elles ont un charme fou.
Oui mais les fleurs et ls feuilles auraient détourné notre attention des façades pittoresques qui ressemblent à d'anciens ateliers.
Paris a réussi à se ménager de petits havre de paix que, bien des fois, tu trouves et partages avec nous.
C'est une des nombreuses cours d'à toi ?
En fait je crois que tu es un chat, tu adores aller dans tous les recoins plus ou moins défendus... Et ton blog te sert de marqueur indélébile...
I'm THERE with that first picture...and I feel a clutch in my throat...then the tears start...
Sometimes I think there are too many 'cours' like this one in Paris. They are attractive of course, but because they are not 'unique' they are perhaps not loved and used as much as they would be in less spoilt cities.
How charming. I could happily get lost in that warren of alleys and courtyards.
It's not always easy to remember to "smell the roses"; thankfully, we have you to remind us.
Amazing that people actually know which is is the exit.
That looks like a good place to walk around with a camera.
Such great details! The alley in the first pic is just lovely!
it still looks so archetypally Paris - great shots...
The white of Paris buildings always lifts my spirits.
I see that some are in light shirts/jackets, and some in down coats. Just like here! We have had warm weather, but now it will turn chilly again apparently.
Tu as vraiment le don pour denicher des petits havres de paix dans le tumulte de la Capitale!!
This looks so charming ~ flowers or not. I will have to add to my list for my next trip...
Le décor qui vous capture vraiment transparent.
Il leur semblait être juste en face de mes yeux.
Votre photo est magnifique sûrement.
Bonne fin de semaine.
De l'Extrême-Orient.
Meilleures salutations.

One thing I discovered in Paris was to always walk down the alleys -- you would find some amazing architecture, quaint shops and cafes and sometimes a good shortcut! I wish I'd found this one!
Trotter:
Yes! :-)
Vagabonde:
There are Turkish restaurants at many places, but I think perhaps more particularly on the area Rue du Faubourg St Denis, Boulevard de Strasbourg...

You are right; it's easier to see the buildings and the architecture before the leaves are there, but on the other hand, they add to the atmosphere! :-)
