Carcassone , France

Carcassonne (Occitan: Carcassona) is a fortified French town, in the Aude département in the Languedoc. It is separated into the fortified Cité de Carcassonne and the more expansive lower city, the ville basse.

This bastide, which was thoroughly restored from 1853 by the theorist and architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, was added to the UNESCO list ofWorld Heritage Sites in 1997. In 1999, the city had a population of 43.950 people. (Wikipedia)

Montreuil , France

Today was a day of glory for my mailbox :D 7 cards have arrived written and stamped ( see below :D) plus two envelopes , one from Sicily (Italy ) with 5 cards and one from Serbia with 17 (!) cards ! So today I will present all 7 and tomorrow I'll choose some from my envelopes to show you !( Or maybe the day after :D) . This is an official from France , from a lovely village in the north east ! Although a small place it has appeared in literature twice :
1. Lawrence Stern has visited the town in 1765 ! His visit was recounted in his novel " A sentimental journey through France and Italy ".
2. Montreuil was the setting for much of the early part of Victor Hugo's novel " Les Miserables".The novel's main character Jean Valjean served as a mayor there and also owned a big factory ! The town was the setting also for much of early conflict of Valjean and his antagonist Javert , as well as the birthplace of Fantine !

Tres tres belle carte-postale y merci beaucoup  a Sylvain .....
