Marseille

 This postcard was sent by Martine




Fort du Château, Briançon

 I received this postcard as being part of the fortifications of Vauban, but after some research I learnt that only the powder magazine of this fortification is registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List, so I decided not to include it in my UNESCO collection. But still, a great postcard.




Cabanes Tchanquées, Arcachon Bay

 I also bought this postcard in gas station




Puy de Dôme

This postcard was also bought in a gas station and I'm glad I did it because a few years later these volcanoes were inscribed as World Heritage!

 I love lemon tart. It's one of my favorite desserts. This postcard was sent by Martine




Pey-Berland Tower, Bordeaux

Despite being at night, I really enjoyed Bordeaux and we had a very good meal washed down with the world famous local wine.




Pont de Pierre, Bordeaux

 I visited Bordeaux at night and I found only one shop that was still open, but about to close. So I had to choose the postcards really quick
