Chaîne des Puys

 This was the reason that led me to Clermont-Ferrand. I once found a postcard of these volcanoes at a gas station on the road, but suddenly gas stations stopped having postcards, so after the inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage list I made a deviation to find postcards in the closest city.

Basilica of Notre-Dame du Port, Clermont-Ferrand

Besides the beautiful cathedral Clermont-Ferrand has also this basilica, part of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France

Temple Saint-Étienne, Mulhouse

 We didn't have a lot of time to visit and it was raining a lot

Aubette, Strasbourg

 I feel that a was a lot more to see in Strasbourg. One day is not enough

Strasbourg Cathedral

 It was in front of the cathedral that I had an amazing crepe strasbourgeoise

Châteaux de Lastours

 This castle is actually 4 castles

Château de Puilaurens

 I bought these postcards with castles in the same gas station I bought the postcards with the dovecotes.

Château de Quéribus

Queribus is one of the "Five Sons of Carcassonne", along with Aguilar, Peyrepertuse, Termes and Puilaurens: five castles strategically placed to defend the French border against the Spanish

Château de Peyrepertuse

 Visiting this castle must provide a great hike and a great view

Aude Castles

 Aude is the kind of region I love: lots of castles 

Château de Montségur

 This castle reminds me the Iron Maiden song titled "Montségur"

Hôpital de La Grave, Toulouse

 I was with my family once in Toulouse and we had a bad experience. I wouldn't mind to return to make better memories

Flamingos in the Camargue

It was in Arles, not far from the Camargue, that I bought my postcards

Camargue

 I was never in the Camargue but it's quite easy to find postcards of this natural region in the south of France

Dovecote

 In France dovecotes are built of wood or stone

Dovecote

 This one looks like the tower of a castle

Dovecote

 Some of these dovecotes are really beautiful

Dovecote

I don't remember seeing any dovecote on my journeys, but maybe I passed through some

Dovecote

 I bought a few postcards with dovecotes in a gas station in France.
