A l'époque les éditeurs de cartes postales voulaient voir du monde. Lorsqu'il arrivait dans un village c'était un évènement que tout le monde sortait voir. le photographe faisait poser tous ces curieux. On trouve des séries de cartes postales avec les mêmes personnes qui l'ont suivi dans le village. Devant l'hotel restaurant on voit Mr DROUEL le patron (en gilet, chemise blanche) et son épouse (en blouse blanche); les pensionnaires et/ou le personnel de l'hotel aux fenêtres du 1er étage. Il y a une autre photo prise ce jour là (la moto est au meme endroit) dans l'autre sens.

At the time the postcard publishers wanted to see the world. When he arrived in a village it was an event that everyone went out to see. the photographer asked all those curious people. There are series of postcards with the same people who followed him in the village. In front of the hotel restaurant we see Mr. DROUEL the boss (in vest, white shirt) and his wife (in white coat); boarders and / or hotel staff at the 1st floor windows. There is another photo taken that day (the bike is in the same place) in the other direction.
