FR	La Norvège : des fjords qui pénètrent très loin dans les terres, des lacs immenses, des cascades gigantesques, des sommets peu elevés mais enneigés. Mais aussi des forêts, des prairies et des champs de jolies maisons colorées. Bien sûr des bâteaux, et un autre mode de vie. Jaky Les norvegiennes sont pas mal, le pays est beau seul le temps depuis 2j nous boude enfin on verra. Dominique
EN	Norway: fjords that penetrate far into the land, immense lakes, gigantic waterfalls, peaks that are somewhat low but covered in snow. But also forests, prairies, and fields of pretty, colorful houses. Of course boats, and a different way of life. -Jaky Norwegian women aren’t bad, the country is beautiful only the weather hasn’t been great since 2 days but we’ll see. -Dominique

Remarks

This was sent to the same street as cards 2 and 3. Who are Jaky and Dominique? No idea, but that family from card 3 was living on the same street. They must have liked Norway.

Two people on the postcard this time! They found the room.

This card was sent from Norway to France postmarked 7 August 1967. Its destination was rue Benoît Bunico, 06, Nice. It has a 55 øre stamp depicting wheat and an atlantic cod. In fact, it seems it was sent by the same person as card 2!

Remarks

This was almost certainly sent by the same person as card 2, to the same street.

The black marks on the front of the postcard are not part of the image. They look like imprints, ink, or something else from the mail processing machine maybe?

FR	6 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 gui
EN	6 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 gui

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\.
