France: Wimereux

Yesterday I got a postcard from France.

The card shows various views of Wimereux. Wimereux is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department. It became the site of the first radio link between England and France in 1899. During World War I was Wimereux an important hospital centre. John McCrae, the author of In Flanders Fields, is buried in Wimereux.


Stamps:
New Marianne 0,01€, 0,05€ and 0,10€
Salon Philatélique de Printemps (issued 23-03-2015)


Thank You very much William!
