My Hometown - Saint Fargeau

vintage postcards

This is a vintage postcard from Saint Fargeau! I live in this little town:) The middle of the castle is quite tubby and chubby. It looks like it's been eating to many decadent pastries.


The vintage postcard reads: Benediction des Chiens - Blessing of the Dogs. The pups at the bottom of the steps are being hallowed for Saint Hubert Day. He is the patron saint of the hunt:) Woof!

The Hubert-Day ! Hubert is the patron-saint of the hunting. That's the reason why these hunting dogs are waiting for their benediction. Maybe hunters too ? : ) "May I cross a wild boar, my dog, heu, no ! my god !"

I had nooo idea that this was for Saint Hubert day! Thank you so much Catherine: I revised the little post!

Hi Marie,
Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting on my fabric postcards. I've enjoyed looking at your blog - your postcards are absolutely fabulous! I don't think my fabric postcards would be suitable for your Friday swap, as they are not vintage, but thanks for inviting me.

That is a beautiful card, you lucky girl! I like the grand stairs that curve up from all sides, making it look magestic!

Aren't religious ceremonies funny?

Hi Marie Isabelle! I think my middle and the Saint Fargeau castle's have the love of decadent pastries in common! Oh no!
