It seems that back then postcards were also used to spread some news, like here. This one depicts President Raymond Poincaré in Lyon in May 1914, a few weeks before WW1.

And with this postcard, I’m getting ready to hop on a “horse carriage” (well, actually a plane) and wave you goodbye for a few weeks, as I will most likely be more or less without the Internet for a while.

However, as I will certainly get a smart-phone soon (a first for me) do not hesitate to follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Google+ if you don’t already do so.

I’ll be back sooner than you think and with a lot of full length blog posts.

Cheers.

  1. Bon voyage !
    (in french, by a french).

  2. Good luck on your trip! (That seemed to me like a silly thing to say until I read about the Air France issue…) All my best wishes. Looking forward to hearing all about it. : )

  3. Thank you to both of you. :-)
    Let’s hope Air France doesn’t screw my trip (I’m with them for just one tiny bit of the trip, so let’s keep our fingers crossed). I hated them already, this was the last straw I think.

  4. Safe journey – and have fun.
