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.

Re: French place name?

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...

Re: French place name?

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...

Re: French place name?

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.


Regards,
Rudi.

Hello

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

Re: French place name?

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.

Regards,
Rudi.

Re: French place name?

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

If it can help...
