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!

Big kisses to all four of you, from the edge of the world. gui
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?

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

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\.
This card was sent from Norway to France in June 1998. Its destination was rue de Cessole, 06100, Nice. It has a 5.50 krone stamp that features the Hepatica Nobilis flower.
