The Seine river is the famous river in France, have 776 km long. There are 37 bridges within Paris and dozens more spanning the river outside the city.

The name Seine came from Latin Sequaka . In 1991  Unesco added the banks of the Sein in Paris (the Rive Gauhe and Rive Broite) to the list of World Heritage Sites in Europe.

Though its beauty, the river was a popular site for suicides and the disposal of bodies of murder victims. In the picture also we can see the typical boats named bateux mouches.

Merci beacoup Nadia J

Lake Taupo is a lake in the North island of new Zealand. With a surface area of 616 km², it’s the largest in New Zealand.

It is drained by the Waikato river ( the longest in New Zealand). The lake famous for the trout fishery, the brown and rainbow trout. Every year lots of tourist come to this lake, over 2 million. The busiest time is the summer season around christmast and new year. This Maori rock craving (you can see in the postcard) is located inn the north west side of the lake. It created by Matahi Whakataka- Brightwell and John Randall in 1970s. The 10 meter high carving is intended to protect Lake Taupo from volcanic activities underneath.

Thank you so much Jeanette, for the interesting postcard J, I really love it!
