Code: 20519213
Price: $10.00
Beaulieu – La Petite Afrique
Honestly we do not know whether there ever was a stamp on this old railroad postcard. It was mailed in 1916 and has what appears to be part of a German “chop” mark on the reverse. If you’re interested, we can scan and show you what we mean. Look hard, you’ll see the train on the front. Grade: 4

Code: 20519214
Price: $7.00
Belfort – La Place de la Republic et le Monument des Trois Sieges
Mailed in 1919 with those three stamps, and message and various other notations on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 20519215
Price: $11.00
Beuil – Vue generale
As a side note from us, this is the kind of card we can sit quietly and stare at for a good long time. It looks like a scene out of an ancient storybook. But back to here and now, the card was mailed in 1908 and has another postmark on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 20519216
Price: $12.00
Biarritz – Le Jardin Public et La Gare du Midi
No stamp, and no sign there ever was one, despite multiple postmarks on the reverse. The card was mailed in 1912. Grade: 3

Code: 20519217
Price: $7.00
Biarritz – Au Rond Point de la Vierge, pendant la tempete

Code: 20519219
Price: $9.00
La Bollene Vesubie
No stamp or postmark, nor do we think there had ever been either one — but there’s an October 1939 date and the reverse is completely filled with a message, and yes, that message mentions the war. A true artefact. Grade: 4

Code: 20519220
Price: $8.00
Bonson, La Vallee du Var
Unused card, aged but still in good condition. Grade: 2

Code: 20519221
Price: $4.00
Boulogne-sur-Mer, La Descente la Plage

Code: 20519222
Price: $7.00
Bourges, Les Beaux-Arts
Undivided back postcard. Stamp and partial postmark are there, but we can’t make out the year. Grade: 2

Code: 20519223
Price: $7.00
Cabourg – La Plage
Mailed in 1933, with stamp and a postmark on each side. Aged appropriately. Grade: 1

Code: 20519224
Price: $9.00
Souvenir de Cagnes
Scenes include sailing boats, the beach, and the old village. Not postally used, this card unusually has a long typewritten message (in French) covering the entire reverse. So … how nice to be able to read all of it clearly. Some staining. Grade: 4

Code: 20519225
Price: $1.00
Cambrai – Jardin Public
The postmarks on both sides are clear but not designed to tell us when the card was mailed. Other than that, and noticeable aging, a good souvenir from Cambrai’s public garden. Grade: 3

Code: 20519227
Price: $6.00
Chamonix – Ascension au Mont Blanc
Stamp and indistinct postmark are there, on this undivided back card mailed very early in the 20th century. Grade: 3

Code: 20519228
Price: $7.00
Cherbourg – Quai Alexandre III et Bassin du Commerce
Mailed in 1906, with two stamps and three postmarks, representing sending and receiving offices. As a side note, the message is in some of the smallest handwriting we have ever seen. The writer had a lot to say and was determined to say it. No umbrellas in sight, though. Grade: 3

Code: 20519229
Price: $12.00
Clans – Vallee de la Tinee, Station estivale
Not sure when this was mailed. Stamp and indistinct postmark are there. Grade: 3

Price: $8.00

Two of these unused, contemporary cards are available. (The art is old, the cards are new.) Grades: 1

Code: 20519232
Price: $1.00
Environs de Dijon – Beze
So Dijon is more than moutarde. Mailed in 1917, as clearly indicated in two postmarks on the reverse. Two stamps on the front. This postcard is highly aged. Grade: 2

Code: 20519233
Price: $9.00
Entraunes – Vue d’ensemble
Written in 1932, with a message fully covering the reverse, there’s no sign this card was ever postally mailed. Grade: 4

Code: 20519234
Price: $6.00
L’Escarene – Vue Generale
Unused card of this Commune/village/town, 19 km from Nice. Or it was then. Grade: 1

Code: 20519235
Price: $5.00
Estissac – L’Eglise
Mailed in 1906, with stamp and postmark on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 20519236
Price: $8.00
Etretat, La Plage a l’heure des Bains
Stamp and indistinct postmark on this early 20th-century postcard. Grade: 2

Code: 20519237
Price: $6.00
Foire de Lyon – Place Tholozan et Pont Morand
Our estimate from the incomplete postmark is that this card was mailed in 1917. Otherwise, an ancient view on an ancient postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 20519238
Price: $8.00
Frontiere Franco-Suisse
A lot going on here, basically an anti-smuggling effort. Nicely detailed caption along with the stamp and 1908 postmark on the front (another partial postmark on the reverse). The writer, Josephine, wanted to ensure an upcoming meeting and we hope and trust she was successful. Her card survived! Grade: 1

Code: 20519239
Price: $14.00
General Gouraud
Henri Joseph Eugène Gouraud was a French general, best known for his leadership of the French Fourth Army at the end of the First World War. This old postcard, not postally used, was written in 1920 with a florid message more or less covering the reverse, with some foxing on both sides. We note the (relatively) unusual use of Arabic on the card, unless it was also meant for sale in Syria. We’re not certain about that. Grade: 4

Code: 20519240
Price: $4.00
Gourdon
Unused, contemporary card of this feudal village near the Fench Riviera. Grade: 1

Code: 20519241
Price: $1.00

Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20519242

Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20519244
Price: $1.00
Greolieres, Vue generale – Route de Thorenc
A commune in Alpes-Maritimes, and also–though not reflected in this postcard–a noted ski resort. Not postally used, the undated card has a message totally covering the reverse. Unlike so many other cards, the handwriting here is so clear and easy to read. Grade: 4

Code: 20519245
Price: $4.00
Grasse. – La Maison de Fragonard
In Grasse, and beyond, Fragonard is symbolic for perfume. Unused, clean old postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 20519246
Price: $5.00
Grasse – Boulevard Thiers
Despite two stamps and three postmarks, we can’t verify the exact date of mailing — it looks like it might have been 1913. The card is heavily aged. Not so long ago, Grasse announced a “requalification” of Blvd. Thiers, to restore it to prominence. We would enjoy visiting, but it’s not likely that will happen. Grade: 3

Code: 20519247
Price: $10.00
Grasse – La Place du Grand Puy prise rue de la Traverse
Mailed in 1904 with stamp and postmarks on front and back. Grade: 2

Not postally used, but with a 1918 message and address on the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 20519249
Price: $5.00
Guillaumes – Vue d’ensemble et le Chateau
The front of this card, for its age (mailed, with stamp, in 1948) is in great condition. It’s not that the reverse is bad, just that it’s a bit messy. Two postmarks, and extra notations by the recipient about when the card arrived. Grade: 3

Code: 20519250
Price: $5.00
