It is from France and addressed to someone in Estonia.
The stamp type was issued first in 1926 and the top seems to reference 1933.
I dont expect it's of any significance historically as a few of the words I managed to translate seemed to be talking about "beautiful shores" etc... The person was obviously on vacation or something similar
Jow Forums related because of what was happening in Europe at the time, 1933 or so
Sorry for poor quality of photos, I have a shitty android phone at the moment
It's about walking on the beautiful Mediterranean shores. Something about nice green grass and 10°C weather and nice landscape. In the end it says they've boarded a ferry and are heading off to australia

Its sent to someone in Kuressaare, it's on Saaremaa (biggest island on Estonia)
Idk it's so blurry, but there seems to be some date on the very top. Its written in shit grammar either by a 7 year old or someone not too good in Estonian
Leo Sanchez
Thank you for helping. Can you determine the street name?
I might be wrong tho. It might be a street in Kuressaare

I don't know how the mail industry worked in 1933. Maybe all the mail was sent to the kubermang center, without a specific address
Jose Kelly
Send clearer pic. Maybe then we can get a precise information. It's hard to tell what it actually says.
Xavier Flores
Thank you... Is Kuressare a resort destination?
Postcard is from Cannes and you mention they were headed to Australia
I am deducing pending your reply that this was a relatively wealthy non-Estonian person that perhaps met someone in Kuressare while on a world tour which included Estonia, Cannes, and Australia?
I have a lot of these from the United States/UK from the early 20th century and yes it did seem back then like you could simply address something to a person using only their name and the city.

Kuressaare is the largest city on the island of Saarema. I don't think there are many simple people from there in that time that could afford anything like this. Maybe a Baltic German's child or an actually relevant Estonian.
>Greetings. I got to see many beautiful places on the Mediterranean coast again. I've driven through them multiple times before, but I haven't paid as much attention. >Monte-Carlo and Nice are beautiful in their own way. Here it is green and sunny. >It's currently +10C warm in Toulon. I'll get on a steam boat tonight and sail to Australia. >Lots of greetings to all of you.

Bumping one more time hopefully for more info/thoughts
Thanks stonebros

Thanks again, I have such a shitty phone it doesn't update
Matthew Sullivan
From how it's written would you say it is someone with a non-native grasp on estonian?
Colton Price
It's certainly a native speaker but there were some odd points. That's to be expected though because our language was a tad bit different back then. The names seem a bit foreign though.
