Fontaine Cantini, Marseille

Fontaine Cantini, Marseille

I LOVE postcards with views that I can hunt down and see what they look like today.  This postcard was sent from grandpa to grandma while he was serving in France during World War II.  The back is dated 5 April 1945 and there’s no postmark since he either hand carried this home or sent it through the US Army Air Force mail service.  The back also has printing that marks this, “520. Marseille – Place Castellane et Fontaine Cantini.”  The printer is A. Tardy, “Photo-Editeur, 551 Rue des Minimes, Marseille France.  Below, you can see the same side of the fountain as found on Google Maps.
