EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image transports us back in time to the quaint rural villages of Wimereux, Ambleteuse, and Audresselle, France, circa 1908. The scene features an extraordinary road train, ingeniously designed by the visionary Charles Renard, a pioneer in both aviation and ground transportation. Renard's road train, a fantastic and very rare contraption, was unlike any other vehicle of its time. The train, which ran on roads rather than rails, was a marvel of engineering. It consisted of a powerful tractor unit towing multiple trailers, each carrying goods and supplies. This innovative design allowed for the efficient transportation of goods between villages, bridging the gap in connectivity before the widespread use of modern transportation methods. The postcard showcases the road train as it makes its way through the picturesque French countryside, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. The serene village scene in the background, with its quaint houses, lush greenery, and the tranquil sea in the distance, adds to the sense of nostalgia and wonder. Charles Renard's road train was a testament to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of progress, making this postcard a fascinating glimpse into the past.
