New postcard from FRANCE!




Thank you Fabienne! :)

Curiosity about France:
  • The Palace of Versailles, or simply Versailles, is a royal château in Versailles in the Île-de-France region of France. In French it is the Château de Versailles.When the château was built, Versailles was a country village; today, however, it is a suburb of Paris, some 20 kilometres southwest of the French capital.

Best Wishes!

Quelques cartes de France...



I love this postcard! It's so beautiful... Merci beaucoup Alicia :)

Curiosity about France:
  • The Louvre museum was built in 1190 and was then used as a stronghold of the Viking raids. Over the years, has undergone several reforms, including the construction of the glass pyramid. There you can visit such works as the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci, Venus de Milo, the Raphael and Rembrandt, and European sculpture, furniture, tapestries, porcelain and jewelry from French choirs.


Best Wishes!

Curiosity about France:
  • In France, dogs are allowed anywhere: restaurants, bakeries, shops. Even when the French visit friends, take the dog along.

Best Wishes!

My very first French postcard

I received a postcard from France. Finally! I think I've sent about 4 or 5 to France, but never received one... So, I'm really excited! :) Here it is:




As you can see, it's an old picture from Paris with the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River. Beautiful as always... Paris as such a unique vibe, that makes you want to go back there (ate least I want).

Obviously I want to thank to Famalubel, who remembered me and decided to send this amazing postcard. You can visit her blog here :

Curiosity about France:
  •  The Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named for its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair.
Warm Wishes!
