Descripción:
"A fascinating 1931 postcard sent from Vittel, France, a renowned thermal spa destination, to Montevideo, Uruguay. The message reflects the grandeur of early 20th-century European travel, where extended stays in Paris, the Alps, and Italy were part of an elegant and leisurely lifestyle.

Postmarked in Vittel Etablissement, the front bears a thematic cancellation featuring references to the town’s famed thermal waters, casino, and sports facilities—hallmarks of the luxurious spa culture of the era. The message, penned on June 24, 1935, speaks of a chance reunion in Paris and future travels, offering an intimate glimpse into the social habits of cosmopolitan travelers of the time.
