1905 Palus Beach Plouha France Vintage Postcard

About This Vintage Postcard

This antique postcard presents a nostalgic general view of Palus Beach (Le Palus) in Plouha, situated along the rugged coastline of the Cotes-du-Nord in Brittany, France. The scene captures the tranquility of the early 20th-century seaside, with traditional bathing cabins dotting the shore and a row of stately stone houses nestled at the foot of the sweeping cliffs. This view preserves the quiet coastal charm of a French resort community as it appeared over a century ago.

Additional Information

This card was produced by Couee, a local publisher based in Plouha. The reverse includes a charming handwritten message from a child named Serge to a Mademoiselle Bernadou at 25 Avenue de Wagram, Paris.

Transcription: "Chère Mademoiselle Bernadou, comment allez vous je crois que vous êtes toujours en bonne santé j'étudie bien avec maman je m'amuse bien. Est-ce que Madame Bernadou vas t'elle bien portez vous toujours en bonne santé. Serge"

Translation: "Dear Mademoiselle Bernadou, how are you? I trust you are still in good health. I am studying well with mama and having a good time. Is Madame Bernadou doing well? Stay in good health always. Serge"
The abbreviation "C.-du-N." on the front refers to the historical name of the department, Cotes-du-Nord, which was renamed Cotes-d'Armor in 1990.
