    A little hello from France to all! Let me take you on a ride in some towns of the Val d'Oise, a suburb north of Paris through old postcards and photos of today. To discover also other French sites photos of yesterday and today. I wish you all a very pleasant day and enjoy your visit on http://photimages.canalblog.com!

    would be so cool if you could write where the pictures where made. I come from europe and recognised some places, I think. but would be nice to be sure…
