\"NT0644\"<\/a>The fact that the French Disneyland postcards are rare is likely not a surprise to anyone reading this blog. \u00a0Behind the German black & white cards, the French cards are the next hardest to find, according to the Nickel Tour. \u00a0They were sold at Disneyland, to be sure. If you look carefully at the photo postcard of the Art Corner (NT0122<\/a>) you can see the cards under a sign that says Cartes Postales <\/em>in the upper right hand portion of the card.<\/em> (At least I am pretty sure those are the French cards back there…it’s a little hard to tell).<\/p>\n

But were the cards sold anywhere else? \u00a0This copy of NT0644 that I picked up recently makes me think that maybe they were. \u00a0It is post-marked November 11, 1959 and was sent from Paris (Gare Montparnasse to be exact). \u00a0The recipient of the card was someone in the UK. \u00a0The greeting is written in English. \u00a0I suppose it is possible that the person who wrote the card was at Disneyland and did not send the card until they got to Paris…but that seems unlikely given the subject matter and the postmark location (a train station in Paris).<\/p>\n

\"NT0644_0001\"<\/a>Another thought: \u00a0If you are looking for these online, I suggest searching for more than “Disneyland Postcards”…or any other term like that. \u00a0The cards all say Walt Disney Productions on the back, but that’s it. \u00a0There is no mention of Disneyland. \u00a0It might make more sense to search for “Mickey Mouse, Eiffel Tower”, or something along those lines.<\/p>\n

Happy hunting!<\/p>\n
