Lyon

This postcard is from Laurent in Lyon, France. The postcard reads: Greetings from Lyon. With a view from the Terroux Place, one of the two hearts of the city along with the Belle Crown Place. I hope to meet you one day if you visit my hometown! Best Wishes.

North of France





This is a postcard from a friendly fellow postcard collector in the "Exchange de cartes Postales" group on facebook. Aurelie N writes: Hello, a small card of the North of France to exchange and amuse you among the lumps of letters! I hope to receive news from you soon.






Her second postcard reads: Hello! Thanks for your postcard. The past two days the weather has gotten better in France. I hope it will be the same for you now! Here is a postcard of Paris! (We love these so much thank you!)


Et voila une carte de la Tour Eiffel

This is a postcard of the Eiffel Tower I hope you like it. Best Reguards. Aurelie B.

The second postcard reads: Here is a card of Carcassonne (Aude - France) , that is a medieval city in the South of France. It's really very attractive and very preserved. I send you all my friendship of France. I hope that you are going to receive many cards. ( Thank you we send our love from Charlotte, North Carolina USA and we are chugging along with our postcard journey thanks to wonderful people like you Cathy B and Aurelie B.)

Paris!

Our good friend Nelson C., sent us a wonderful gift, our very first postcard from PARIS, FRANCE! This postcard is as artistic as the person who sent it ;-) Thank so very much for searching so hard for the other postcards I am sure someday it will turn up.This postcard shows the famous Le Pont Alexandre III. Built in 1900 for the Universal Exhibition, the Pont Alexandre-III takes its name from the Russian emperor who laid the first stone. It's a magnificent example of art nouveau style decorated with nymphs, cherubs and other sea monsters. The four golden statues depict Art, Commerce, Industry and the Sciences. At the time of its construction, the authorities would not allow the ornamentation to obscure the view of the Champs-Élysees or the Invalides - happily for us the view is still wonderful! This superb example of 19th-century engineering crosses the Seine between the Invalides and the Grand Palais. It is definitely one of the most beautiful bridges in Paris. Be well good friend and safe travels.

Porte de l'Alsace (Belfort, France)


By helping another postcard blogger we received this wonderful postcard. Thanks Christian for this wonderful card, we love it! The postcard reads: "Salud Kyra! Thank you very much for the postcard you sent to me. Belfort is a famous old town in Eastern France, not far from the German and Swiss boarders. Greetings from France, Christian."

We hope to travel to France someday ;-)

Our first postcards from France...


Thank you Magali T for the five postcards you sent us from France. The postcards display wonderful scenic views of the capital and the coast of Agde, France. It is not often we see the local side of France but this was perfect for our postcard project. Enjoy

New postcards!


After today's field trip, my daughter and I went home to check the mail. Low and behold two more postcards from Debi & Joe! We received one from Paris, France! This card displays the magnificent work of a stain glass window from La Sainte-Chapelle. The postcard reads: These beautiful windows in La Sainte-Chapellein Paris, France. There is an entire floor with windows like these. You could sit for hours just staring at the magical light that shines through.

The second postcard which is also from Debi & Joe is from Madrid, Spain. The card reads: saying hello from Madrid, Spain. The magnificent building on the card is the main post office and city hall. The fountain is named after Cibeles, the Goddess of Fertility. it is one of the many beautiful plazas in Spain.

As of now with three postcards and counting Debi & Joe you hold the award for the most postcards received by one(two) sender(s). Thank you again for all your help thus far keep them coming if you can and we will continue to post what we learn.
