Touet-sur-Var
Touët-sur-Var is a picturesque Medieval village perched on a rock-step of the mountains overlooking the Var river, about 50 km north of Nice. The station for the Train des Pignes is below the village. Two km west of Touët the Gorges du Cians goes north, between the Plateau de Dina to the west and the Giraud les Rocchaudes behind Touët. This card was mailed with its four stamps in 1925, apparently from Madeleine to Madeleine (sic), and here’s a translation of the message: “Why have you spoiled me so? Thank you for your delicate attention of which I was very touched. I think you always spend a pleasant holiday, and that you are healthy. Receive with all my wishes of happiness my best memory.” So our question would be: did she write this to herself, or merely a coincidence? Another postmark on the back. Grade: 1
