The bell is pretty cool, too.
A door knocker in French is un heurtoir (from the verb heurter, to hit) or, according to Wikipedia, un marteau de porte (a door hammer). I learn something new every day.

Just a door
It's not fancy. It's just a simple door on a house in Arlempdes. It does have a pretty big knocker.

It reassures me that even after all your years of French and living there so long that you’re still learning words like this. It gives me hope for my Spanish. And it’s a beautiful door and a very big knocker.
