About this postcard

Elevated view over the red-tiled and blue-slate roofs of a French town, with a large Gothic church or cathedral rising in the background and a broad open square in the foreground. Shop signs reading "CHARBONS & ..." and "COIFFEUR" are visible on the buildings. The scene is typical of a provincial French town in the early 20th century, though no place name is printed on the card.
