FR6 août. Chère tante
Ce plateau désertique est la terre la plus au nord d’Europe et c’est de là que je t’écris.
Il y a un brouillard à couper au couteau et c’est bien dommage car on ne peut rien voir. Je fais là un voyage extraordinaire qui va se prolonger encore 2 semaines pendant lesquelles je vais visiter la Norvège.
Jusqu’à présent le temps a été avec nous et je fais beaucoup de photos
Bien affectueusement

EN6 August. Dear aunt
This barren plateau is the northernmost land in Europe and I’m writing to you from there.
The fog is so thick you could cut it with a knife, which is a shame because you can’t see anything. I’m on an amazing trip that will go on for 2 more weeks, during which I will visit Norway.
Until now the weather has been good and I’m taking lots of photos
Affectionately

Remarks

06 is actually the code for the entire Alpes-Maritimes départment, but the postcard did make it to Nice! Rue Benoît Bunico is in the old town, which is extremely touristy. Probably was back in ’67, too.

Gui is a name in and of itself, but it’s also an alternate spelling of Guy. Both are pronounced the same in French, \ɡi\.
