French & German Post Offices

This is one of my favourite views of the Petit Socco:


Note the French post office next door to the shop Au Grand Paris, and the little group of schoolgirls outside:

Note also the German post office next door to the Cafe des Postes and the horse waiting patiently outside:

Incidentally, the stamp and postmark on this card are from the Spanish post office.

Early View

This is a very early view of the Petit Socco before the British post office was built. At this time it was located behind the buildings on the left, as shown in the sketch map posted below.

The Spanish post office can be seen on the right of the picture.
