EDITORS COMMENTS
Veules-les-Roses: A Timeless Game of Tennis in Normandy, France (circa 1906) Nestled in the picturesque commune of Veules-les-Roses, located in the Seine-Maritime department of the Normandy region in northern France, this charming photograph captures the essence of a leisurely pastime enjoyed by residents of this idyllic town. The scene unfolds on a sunlit tennis court, where two players are engrossed in a friendly game, their focused expressions and determined stances a testament to their enjoyment of the sport. The commune of Veules-les-Roses, with its quaint houses, winding streets, and beautiful coastline, has long been a popular destination for visitors seeking a peaceful retreat. The introduction of tennis to the commune in the early 1900s added another dimension to the town's appeal, providing an active and sociable pastime for its residents. The tennis court, surrounded by lush greenery and dappled sunlight, is a picturesque setting for this timeless game. The players, dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, are poised at the net, ready to engage in a lively exchange of volleys. The net, taut and unyielding, separates the two sides, yet the spirit of friendly competition and camaraderie is evident in their body language. This photograph, captured circa 1906, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when the joys of a game of tennis in the beautiful commune of Veules-les-Roses were a cherished part of daily life.
