THE CAR FERRY VILLANDRY
A French postcard from the 1960's
By Duncan Brown
Villandry arrives at Dieppe
Estel Postcard, France
This is a postcard which I bought on board the Villandry, going on my hols to France with my family to France in 1972, when I was 12.
It is by Estel of Blois, "L' arrivée du Villandry"
This view shows Villandry as she was in the mid 1960's. By the time this postcard was purchased in 1972, they'd added the Newhaven-Dieppe houseflag to the funnel (1968) and the Sealink brand name to the hull (1970). I guess they had a lot of old postcards left to sell!
