Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on April 24, 2023 at 3:30pm: LA FORET LANDAISE, LA LANDEA, FRANCE -- the only mildly interesting (ha!) thing about this Boring Postcard is to be found at the base of the tree, front left. Either someone has extracted some sap from the tree, or a picnic-er has left behind a couple of cups.

Moutain stages of the Tour de France often finish here -- you can see why!
