233 - Côte d’Émeraude, Dinard, La Passerelle Émeraude – Les Casinos

[Photo :  Quest Henne]

 

A Vintage black & white unused postcard from the early 1900s features a picture of the Emerald Coast or Côte d’Émeraude, Dinard France.  The title with a identifying number is printed at the top of thepicture.  Barely visible at the lower right corner is Photo-Quest Henne.  The card has a divided back but no information about the publisher, printer, or distributor.  Using a magnifying glass, it is possible to discern the clothing that helps date the picture to the early 1900s.  Women are wearing long dresses, the men are in suits, some wearing hats. 

 

Dinard is a community located in Brittany, France.  The beaches and mild climate make it a popular seaside resort and tourist destination.  Attractions include film festivals, casinos, and deluxe hotels.  The photo shows beach cabanas and hotels and casinos in the background.  The Thursday postcard from 5 January 2023, #589, also features Dinard and includes pictures of the famous luxury villas.  Although it retains its French charm, it is also known as one of the most British coastal resorts in France.
