Rodin and Vernes

Eva sent me this envelope from Paris in 2017, featuring a very nice (large!) stamp of Rodin's sculpture 'The Kiss'. I also like the cityscape of Paris at the bottom of the envelope (at least I think it is Paris - I recognize Notre Dame). 

Apologies to the city of Amiens for not recognizing its cityscape. 



Eva wrote her note on the back of this postcard showing Jules Vernes' house in Amien.



Merci. Eva!

    I hope that nobody from Amiens is reading the post, because the envelope shows this city's landscape and its cathedral...

    1. Thanks for the correction... I wondered why 'Notre Dame' cathedral looked a bit uneven.

  3. La cathédrale d'Amiens est la plus grande de France et je peux comprendre ton erreur Phillip car je trouve que la cathédrale Notre Dame d'Amiens et Notre Dame de Paris se ressemblent sauf la taille et sur l'enveloppe il y a la tour Perret ,il est aussi l'auteur de celle du Havre (76 Seine Maritime)

    1. I think I just focused on the rose window that is similar.
