The sender of this card states that she found it at a French art show in Shanghai, China. As such, I'm not sure how to classify the nationality of the card!

However, it was mailed from Canada.

The stamp is from February 2011. It's a painting by Canadian Aboriginal artist Daphne Odjig entitled "Spiritual Renewal."

Roscoff, France

This is from the big groups RR. I actually don't have that many cards from France, which explains why I haven't posted any cards from France on here. The picture on this card reminds me of the beach in other places - Alki here in Seattle, and the waterfront in Mazatlán, too. Tonight would be a nice night to take a walk along the water. Possibly not in the "equinoctial gale," although it did hit 80 degrees today.

Roscoff is located on the western coast of France, in the Bretagne (Brittany) region. I guess it makes sense, then, that it reminds me of the western coast of America. It is a ferry port with ferries running to Plymouth, U.K., and Cork, Ireland. According to a 2006 census, there are 3,705 Roscovites. They have bilingual primary education in place with 18% of children learning French and Breton simultaneously.

Not sure about the stamp. No date of issue.
