French place name?
 

Dear all,

attached is a name of what I believe is a french village. I can make out the following:
"bei h? Val??? de Rose"

Anybody have any idea what the correct name is? I've tried google but came up empty handed.

Thanks in advance,
Rudi.

Hi Rudy
I'm french but that does not help! I must admit I can't read the first word and the one after the "h"...
Do you have anymore indication to help? Are you sure it's a location?
"Valmy" could be the name, but I don't know any place called "Valmy de Rose"...There is a wine called Valmy rosé, though, but I guess that's not what you're looking for...

First is St = saint , Robert seems right, no St Valery de rose/ not even in blue / in France , probably St Valery sur Somme or St Valéry en Caux well known in June 40, the 7 th Panzer took a bath there.

Hi Rudi,
Two entries (at least) - but both seem to be in Italy - Bose & Bore... Need to know more if you don't mind. It's up to you...
Cheers, Franck.

PS: I'm not sure to read a R as first letter...

Thanks everyone for your time & effort. Very much appreciated.

The village is definitely in France, not Italy. I guess Remi is right when he suggests probably St Valery sur Somme or St Valéry en Caux.

Rudi.

Hello

I think that it's a mixed with Saint-Valéry-en-Caux and Veules-les-Roses, only 7km far between those places.

Another possibility could be "St Valery de l'Oise".

Yes pilot2, I already came to the same conclusion as you. The picture was taken in one of the 2 villages.

There was a military camp called "Veules-les Roses" near Saint-Valéry-en-Caux.

If it can help...
