Went for a walk in Toulouse, France.
I bought this old book in a very tiny bookshop, so full of books that it's difficult too move there without walking on a book!

Yesterday I bought an old book, edited in 1928. Inside, I found inside this card on which is written:
“Wednesday 5 pm,
My niece asked me to invite you to lunch at her house on Friday. She will introduce you to her grandmother.”
On the back of the card is only printed a name: Louis Viennet. According to the typeface, and the handwriting of M. Viennet, the card might be dated from around the 1940‘s...
End of this story in the comment below...

GabrielleDubois This book, therefore, did not belong to M. Viennet, but to the person to whom the card was sent. And this anonymous reader did not finish reading the book, because lot of pages have not been cut to be opened yet… what a mystery! 8y
PurpleyPumpkin Ooh that is so interesting! I love surprises like this. 😊 8y
GabrielleDubois @PurpleyPumpkin So do I! I'm going to tell about this in French, maybe someone will recognize his grandgrandfather! 🙂 8y

GabrielleDubois @RaimeyGallant One of my favourite book, with Le Capitaine Fracasse, both by the great, the one and only: Théophile Gautier, my beloved poet! Have you read him? 8y
RaimeyGallant No, sorry:) 8y
GabrielleDubois @RaimeyGallant Don't be, but if you read him, tell me! 8y

GabrielleDubois @SilversReviews @KVanRead Yes, it! I tried to find who the writer of the card was, but I failed for the moment... to be continued! 8y
