UNESCO - La Sainte Chapelle, Paris, France



Another UNESCO card that I almost missed.  I thought it was just a great card showing inside of La Sainte Chapelle in Paris but when I googled it I find that it's included in the site 'Paris Banks of the Seine' and there is a photo of the inside (like my postcard) on the UNESCO page.  Wonderful card sent from Chleo, it's just a shame that the post office machine made a white-scuff-of-doom right in the center.

Eiffel Tower, Paris, France



This beautiful Eiffel Tower postcard in a Lomo/Cross Processed style and complete with bokeh effect actually arrived from China. It was sent by Christy as she really liked the card. I like it too.  Although it is actually a UNESCO site I'm not counting it as part of my collection as it hasn't been sent from the site country.

Ladybird book



Great Ladybird book card from Anne in France.  I used to own a lot of these books when I was little but not this one, unfortunately.

Wednesday

Nantes





A great card from postcrosser Aline.  No stamp as this one came in an envelope. 


"The Passage Pommeraye is a small shopping mall in central Nantes, France, named after its property developer, Louis Pommeraye. Construction started at the end of 1840 and was completed on 4 July 1843. The Passage Pommeraye is a passage between two streets, the rue Santeuil and rue de la Fosse, with one 9.40 m higher than the other. Midway, there is a flight of steps and the mall then continues on another floor. Two architects, Jean-Baptiste Buron and Hippolyte Durand Gasselin, contributed to its design, which is very elaborate and includes renaissance style sculptures. The Passage Pommeraye has been classified as a historic monument since 1976."

Dog



 
 No senders name but it was sent by a French postcrosser.  No stamp either as it had been franked by machine.  No message to mention as the back was blank.  Great black and white pooch card though!
