Most doors in France feature a "Knocker" typically in the shape of a ladies hand complete with a ring.
While we have seen hundreds in the shape of a ladies hands we've only seen one male hand and one woodpecker knocker(bottom photo).
We have a very nice antique ladies' hand that we acquired on our second trip to France in 2004, which Graeme has yet to mount on our door.
But he plans to do so upon our return.
