Addressee: n/a
Internal notes: QC passed
This postcard of Alsace, France, takes you straight to the charm of a bygone era, where timber-framed houses adorned with colorful flowers transport you to the heart of Colmar, Eguisheim, and Kaysersberg. The rich heritage of La Petite Venise (Little Venice) in Colmar whispers of its canals and the peaceful flow of everyday life, surrounded by a vibrant blend of medieval and Renaissance architecture. You can almost feel the cobblestones underfoot and hear the chatter of passersby, captivated by the flowers spilling over balconies, breathing life into these historic streets.
The images of Eguisheim’s Remparts and Kaysersberg’s half-timbered houses evoke a narrative of resilience and cultural preservation, with their intricate wooden beams standing strong against the passage of centuries. These homes, often adorned with ornate oriels, reflect the elegance and craftsmanship of the 18th century, each with its own story to tell. This is a postcard not just of a place, but of a lifestyle steeped in tradition and beauty, framed within a picturesque golden-hour glow that only Alsace can offer.
Though there is no handwritten message, the reverse side of the postcard tells its own story with its clean design by Editions PEC – Marseille, waiting to be completed with a touch of personal history. It speaks to collectors and travellers alike, holding the promise of future memories and preserving the timeless charm of Alsace. The absence of a postmark and address allows you to imagine its potential journey—whether as a keepsake or a letter to a loved one, it holds infinite possibilities.
