Rocher d'Aiguilhe, Le Puy-En-Velay, France Postcard

Daniel in France sent this beautiful postcard featuring a night view of Chapelle Saint Michel. It is perched atop a 288 feet (88 meters) tall volcanic plume located in Le Puy-En-Velay, France.

I would love to see this in person, and to make the climb to the top. I imagine that the view from up there is fantastic!

He sent the card in this really nice first day cover of Fete Le Feu (Fire Festival/Party?), which appears to be associated with Fete Du Timbre (Stamp Festival/Party?).

Thanks very much, Daniel!

Viaduc De Millau Postcard

Another fantastic bridge card just arrived! My postcard buddy, Daniel, in France sent this one.

I just finished reading online about this fascinating bridge. It's the world's tallest bridge, and has the world's 12th highest bridge deck.

Merci beaucoup, Daniel!

And as a bonus, the envelope had these great stamps of Edith Piaf, an international star and singer from France, and Miles Davis, an American considered to be one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.
It was very interesting reading about their lives.

I've learned a lot of new stuff today, and it's still only early afternoon!

Paris Postcard

Daniel in France sent me this gorgeous card of the Pont Alexandre III bridge, which spans the Seine. It is widely regarded to be the most ornate and extravagant of the 37 bridges in Paris.

 The envelope had these two beautiful first-day-of-issue stamps of Joan of Arc. Very nice!
Thanks very much, Daniel.

Postcard from Mende, France

Daniel sent this terrific card, love it! The clouds, the rock formations, the landscape, the flock of seagulls....sheep, flock of sheep!!
The location is Les Causses, a group of limestone plateaus in Massif Central, which is an elevated region in south-central France consisting of mountains and plateaus.
Thanks very much, Daniel.
