  4. Merci Eric!
    I enjoy the first of the month because of the themes. I will keep a close eye on the postal boxes now. I know of 2 or 3. It is a good project/exercise for me.
    It is still to early to see those the participated. Singapore's photo of the postal boxes is fun.

    Great photo, I like the lines.

    (saw The Lookout and Reign on Me
    enjoyed both)

  5. I'm glad you republished it Eric cause I didn't know your blog back in 2005.
    How appropriate this mail box seems for today! It's April's fool day here too, I almost forgot it.

    I've never seen such a nice mailbox, it must bring letters with only good news in it!!!

  6. Happy April Fool's Day, everyone! And happy anniversary to my mother and step-father, even though they wont be reading this. It's their 1st anniversary! We'll be spending the day scouting out the place my little sister's wedding and reception will be next month!

  8. Eric: For me, you are a personal Doisneau (did I spell it right?),keeping your eyes open and catching the exceptional for your fans. Got a kick out of the mailbox.

  10. Happy April Fool's Day Eric and everyone. Or as the French call it, Possion d'Avril.

    I look forward to going around the world on the portal to see what everyone has posted.

  11. ...ever heard of SAINT MARTIN d'ABBAT (45 Loiret, région Centre)?
    this French village is dedicated to "customised" private letter-boxes.
    tour it in the summer-time or attend its festival...
    for more information:
    http://www.letterboxvillage.com/BALTOUT7.HTM

    by the way Michael, to-day is "poisson" d'avril day;
    your possion can't swim!!! and furthermore dreadfully sounds like "potion" which,of course, nobody would dream of gobbling today...
    for when you "gobez un poisson d'avril" you definitely are "April Fool"...

  12. Thanks Janet! I misspelled poisson! Gurgle gurgle...

  13. Idée sympathique, mais leurs nombreux retards me font souvent rire jaune...;-) Bon dimanche, Eric.

  18. What a happy postbox. I wish my postbox would smile at me when I go to post a letter... would be even better if it would say good morning and compliment me on my hair! :)

  19. Smiles and smiley faces....what the world needs now is more of them. Happy April Fools' Day to all! Great mailbox photo, Eric. I am watching last night's Symphonic show contra le sida. Line Renaud gave the introductory speech. She is so grand.

  20. Very cute indeed. Enjoy your Sunday.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Very nice. Glad to see it's not another red or British mail box! Bon Dimanche.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Nice smiley face. Tell me you did not photoshopped or actually draw it with black maker by yourself. Well whoever did this, this is somehow nice and give some people smile, that is sure.

    ReplyDelete
  23. What a smily mailbox!

    Have a happy normanday weekend :-)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Were you the one who drew the smile on the mailbox? I sort of re-posted a photo once also. With our realizing until after the fact I took and posted a photo of the same band playing at the same location one year apart. It would have been interesting had there been a difference but looking closely I realized they had not changed a thing ... enjoy your trip.

  25. As long as the bills don't get any ideas to multiply while in there I'm ok. A clever find indeed.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Eric, did you DRAW that graffiti on the mail box? I am going to report you to the police. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oooh... and what goes on in Normandy, Eric. These sojourns are getting me curious and i bet i'm not wrong? Do tell!

    Great smailey face

  28. Lynn...you are so perceptive. I am sure it has something to do with an older woman!

  29. I have finished each and everyone of the theme day posts, can I please now get something to eat and shower? lol

    I have been April Fooled twice, once with Naples (disclaimer: I am blond and it was really only for a second) and one more I won't say so someone else may be fooled.

    ALL the photographs were great and far from boring. I enjoyed the different angles, the framing, all were brought to life by the photographer. The smells, the sounds of the street, the heat and the cold. I enjoyed my travels today. If I were not faint from the lack of food I would copy and paste a bravo on each and every site!
    BRAVO! MAGNIFIQUE!

  30. Such a happy little box! Neorelix: this box must be "femail" because she's got that cute little beauty mark on the left side!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Neorelix/PontGirl/Tomate...LOL
    I just got it. Looking at all of these mailboxes on blogs has really slowed me down.

    Haxo, I've never heard of Cabourg but the link you left looks nice.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I never noticed that it is written PosteS with an S on the end. It seems strange because I can not imagine us writing MailS here in the USA.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Neorelix/Pontgirl: can't let that go unless I also say that you both put a smile on my face.

    ReplyDelete
  34. This is a winner - you not only get the theme, April Fool's day and a big smile.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Quite Michael, a little experience goes a long way ;) lol!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Well, Eric I thought that smile looked familiar...LOL!! It is just as great a photo the second time around! Wait, isn't that a song or something?? The TheSecondTimeAround

    johnny...since you are such a Marlene Dietrich lover...I need to tell the story about my father and Marlene Dietrich! You'll love it!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Kpgallant, Tell me, tell me...Jwp3937@Yahoo.com....Put Dietrich in the subject box, please.

  38. Perfectamente, Eric! I love seeing this great image again. Made me smile back. Hope your Sunday on the coast was refreshing and put a smile on your face, too. Have a lovely week!

  39. It's a great smiley mailbox, Eric! Made me smile as well. Thanks!

  40. Michael: understood! It took me a long time to get through most of these mailboxes (I guess theme day is a lot of work!!) but well worth it! Thanks to all of you guys for doing that! :)
