Cieplice Śląskie- Zdrój - (German: Bad Warmbrunn) - currently a part of the town of Jelenia Góra, located at the foot of the Sudeten mountains. The postcard shows a modernist hotel building in the spa. The postcard was sent in 1977.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS ONE?

It's 'Le Jardin Fleuri' of the Hotel Brun in St-Rambert-d'Albon, France. Lots of flowers. A fat lady in the background; But no Hotel!

If I was thinking of booking nto a hotel, I'd rather see the hotel than the garden. But maybe there is no hotel, and the garden part shown here is part of a camp-site. Or....?

Thanks Mar, and welcome to the Group. You'd be surprised -- well, maybe not -- how many cities display their 'civic pride' with some truly awful postcards as can be seen from the second one. From which city do the postcards come?

Comment by Raphael Nadolny on July 18, 2022 at 3:56pm

Lubniewice (German: Königswalde) - a small town on the border between Poland and Germany, in the lake district, in an area with a lot of woodland; it is located in a narrow strip between two lakes Lubiąż and Krajnik. Numerous leisure and active recreation centres have sprung up in the town due to its excellent recreational and touristic qualities. Postcard sent in 1970.
