Vintage card - colours of France

You know, I love France, every year I spend some time there. I also love the vintage travel posters of France. At the Pinterest, I have a board for them.

So I made this card because the French National Day, the 14th of July is soon here. And for making it, I had a poster inspiration.





Here you can see the poster which inspired me.


With my card, I would like to join the :

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Red, White and/or Blue

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything goes


Thanks for stopping by!!!

Narbonne - The house of Charles Trenet

Do you know the song "La mer" or "Douce France" or "Que reste-t-il de nos amours?" These are Charles Trenet's famous songs you could hear in many movies. 

Lately I had the fortune to visit his house in Narbonne and I would like to share my experience with you in pictures.



Approaching the house of Charles Trenet you could see a painting of Trenet on the exterior wall of a house.







The street where Charles Trenet was born is named after Charles Trenet.










































He was born in this room.















































His famous hat.

France - Brittany - Morbihan - Rochefort-en-Terre

Because some of my friends and relatives wanted to see more pictures of Bretagne (Brittany), I took a deep breath and I decided to show mostly all of them but divided into towns and places.

First, here comes Rochefort-en-Terre a "cité de caractère" and believe me this city really has a charming character. I can say that if you are near this city, you must see it!

Rochefort-en-Terre has a medieval atmosphere and the entire city looks like a film set.
