Peira-Cava. – Les Hotels et la Foret
We can’t quite make out from the postmark when the card was mailed, but suppose it was 1931 or later because that’s what the stamp says. In the event, we thought you might enjoy seeing what happens when we submit the original Wikipedia French version for English translation (slightly abridged only): “Peïra-Cava is a village dependent on the municipality of Lucéram, located in the department of Alpes-Maritimes… Peira-Cava, the first winter sports resort in the department, enjoyed international renown in the early 20th century, as evidenced by the list of famous people who stayed in the resort. Attached to the village of Lucéram , the station nevertheless benefited from a system of electoral division which allowed the peir-cavois to elect their own municipal councilors. Following several inquiries carried out by the Prefecture of the department and a decision of the municipal council, this section will be deleted.” That’s cryptic! Think of it as a ski resort.
